Thanks a lot Eric,

however:

I suppose this gives me the pointer to the button, which contains
the label, what I need is the pointer to the label, I am sure
there is some function (gtk_widget_get_child or so) to access the
child from the parent... I didn't find it yet though...

This doesn't seem to work very well with my gtk 1.2.3! If I have this:

gtk_file_selection_complete (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (file_selection), "*.ps");
gtk_file_selection_set_filename (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (file_selection), "article.ps");

the first command is totally ignored. If I swap the order:

gtk_file_selection_set_filename (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (file_selection), "article.ps");
gtk_file_selection_complete (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (file_selection), "*.ps");

the first command is ignored, and when I change to other directories, GTK
forgets the filter and shows all the files... am I missing something?

Thanks again!
