I haven't seen that kind of code in XEmacs, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible.

You should probably update the gutter only when the events are processed. One way to achieve that is to hook the update in post-command-hook. I'd prefer these low-level things to be handled directly from C, though.

But what about `underline' or `strike-through'? Font properties or face properties? It depends on whether you're on a TTY or under a Windowing system. What about my example with `bold'?

The distinction between "face properties" and "font properties" is often quite arbitrary. For instance, underline is handled internally under X, and it's a font property under Windows. Or, "bold" can be a font property, and yet it can be simulated if a bold font is not available (xterm does that). And so on.
