I found a solution for the current line number and breakpoint problem that
doesn't involve filling the screen up with clutter. The new solution I
stumbled upon while using gedit. gedit uses a 3rd party widget called
gtksourceview. If I were going to turn gpsim into an IDE I'd consider
using gtksourceview too. However, we don't need another dependency nor all
of the power it provides. But it did illustrate how to manipulated the gtk
native widgets the way that I want. Here's a screen shot illustrating a
cleaner view.

As you can see, the line number have been removed. And if there's a reason
to add them back, then it's easy to do. However, I'd placed them in the
grayed margin off to the left. The opcodes are still present, but I plan
to make this a user-configurable option for enabling/disabling.
The aesthetics of this new implementation can be easily modified.
