In fpGUI we introduced a new property called TfpgEdit.ExtraHint

That way it doesn't interfere with the actual text content - no matter
how it is set. The ExtraHint text is painted directly onto the
TfpgEdit background. But then again in fpGUI I have full control over
all components design - I don't know the various LCL backends and
there limitations on doing things.

Painting directly onto TEdit's background canvas - is that what you
are having issues with under GTK2?
