GtkEntry And AtkText

["Padraig O'Briain" <Padraig Obriain sun com>]

Marc,

The current position in a GtkEntry is obtainable as the property 
"text_position". This is the current position of the insertion point.

We could probably implement interfaces when AtkTextBoundary is 
ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_CHAR or ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_CURSOR_POS but it is likely to be 
more challenging for the other text boundary values.

I am not sure why there is a reference to GtkText as I under that it was 
deprecated and we were not going to support it.
