GtkEditable gripes

[<nuke bayside net>]

i'm faced with a problem of wether this is The Right Way or not.

if a selection in an editable is made backwards, and these coordinates are
used in gtk_editable_get_chars like such:

string = gtk_editable_get_chars (text, text->editable.selection_start_pos,
text->editable.selection_end_pos);

a null string will be returned because selection_start_pos is greater than
selection_end_pos. is this the intended behavior? would an empty string be
more appropriate? or should gtk_editable_get_chars swap them if the
selection is backwards?
