Re: getting text from an entry box

["Maher Awamy" <muhri muhri net>]

you need to g_strdup() what you get before inserting it in the glist - dont
forget to g_free() it later when you dont need it anymore ... so

    config_data = g_list_append (config_data,
  g_strdup(gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(entry1))));

is what you should be doing.
