In pysvn WorkBench I log to a StyledTextCtrl. It works well
and I don't remember the control being hard to use or take a
long time to read up on. Having error messages stand out using
the styles is a huge UI advantage.

I know what the type of the message is as I've hooked into
the python logging module.

The code is around line 1030 in
