I've done this:

static void FocusInEntry(GtkWidget *entry)
{
  g_return_if_fail ( entry ) ;
  g_return_if_fail ( GTK_IS_ENTRY(entry) ) ;
  gtk_editable_select_region(GTK_EDITABLE(entry), 0, -1);
  gtk_widget_show(entry);
}

...
  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(entry), "focus_in_event",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(FocusInEntry), entry);
...

Some printf() showd me that FocusInEntry() is called right but it
didn't show any effect.  What am I doing wrong?

Furthermore I've done:

...
  fs = gtk_file_selection_new(title);

  gtk_file_selection_set_filename(GTK_FILE_SELECTION(fs), name);
  gtk_editable_select_region(
             GTK_EDITABLE(GTK_FILE_SELECTION(fs)->selection_entry), 0, -1);
...

But also with no effect.  What's wrong here.

Kind regards and thanks for your patience
