Re: [gtk-list] Gtk_Text question

Thanks Evan, for your reply. I get same error message even if I reverse
the order as you said. Could this be related to "position" (int*) because
I don't understand why an int pointer is used there? I also put a line
my_text->set_point(0); before insert_text() function but still no luck. If
I removed insert_text(..) line, everything is ok (except I can't insert
text into the widget :( ).

BTW, I use glib-1.1.2, gtk+-1.1.1, Gtk---0.9.14.
