Nobody really cared back than.
So, as I wrote in the blog above, I think this issue can be solved as an input method plugin (or a patch to Gnome) which will let you control the invisible characters in the beginning of each paragraph using special hot keys. This is not too hard to do but I think that Gnome people do not acknowledge it as an issue that should be solved and will not accept a patch for it.
Want to solve it? This is what you should do:
1. Open a bug in GTK.
2. Convince them it should be fixed. (That's the hard part)
3. Propose a solution and/or patch.
