Hi,

gtk_file_selection_get_filename returns a const value and you're
assigning it to a non const value.  Try this:

const gchar *filename;
filename = gtk_file_selection_get_filename(....);

If you need to modify the filename, g_strdup() it.  Check the glib
manual under the standard macros section for an explanation of
G_CONST_RETURN.
