How do you programatically set the selected range in a GtkTextView?

[Nicholas Allen - Sun Ireland - Software Engineer <nicholas allen ireland sun com>]

Hi,

I am wondering: how does one programatically set the selection for a 
text view to a range of characters?

I find it strange that the GtkTextBuffer manages the currently selected 
range and not the GtkTextView. The selection is much more a visual thing 
and should be associated with the view not the buffer surely. What's the 
point of being able to have multiple text views if they have to have the 
same selected text?
