Hi, this worked for me when I did

	len = strlen( gtk_entry_get_text( GTK_ENTRY( entry ) ) );
	gtk_entry_select_region( GTK_ENTRY( entry ), 0, len );

ie., you have to give the exact end point. Puzzled me for a while too. I
used to have gtk_entry_select_region( GTK_ENTRY( entry ), 0, 10000 ) and it
caused some odd problems :/
