Forget about that, but I'm further interested in the strange
colouring.

Furthermore I consider it to be bad that the wished effect of
changing the default value can only be obtained when reaching
the entry widget via <Tab>.  If I set the focus with the mouse
this is interpreted like a cursor move and I can't get rid of
the value by just pressing a letter.  This way the feature
doesn't help much because users will often set the focus with
the mouse.

Last but not least I would wish the gtk_editable_select_region()
behaviour for the GtkFileSelection widget when using
gtk_file_selection_set_filename().

Kind regards
