This is good news. I hope that will fix it. Btw: I got another segfault
with removetext (AFAIR or was it gtk_text_set_point, don't remember) in
the scope of a freeze/that. It looks like this is a more general
problem. Anyway if I still get problems with 1.2.5 I sure will let you
know.

thanks for the great work,
