ok! things work fine, exept that i can't move the cursor or delete
what i've "typed".

my code looks like this now:

  event.type       = GDK_KEY_PRESS;
  event.string     = typed;
  event.length     = 1;
  gtk_widget_event(GTK_WIDGET(entry_typed), (GdkEvent *)&event);

one more hint what to asigne to event.string to make things work?

thanx so far ...
