GTK 1.3.1 text widgets

[Shaker AL-Ghanmy <shaker sh mail com>]

Hello,
I am talking about the new gtk 1.3.1 that
works with Pango API's .

What is the difference between the original text_widget
and the new text_view_widget ?

I have two functions that work on the gtkwidget class :-
1. gtk_widget_set_direction(GtkWidget *anything1 ,
GtkWidget *anything2) .
2. gtk_widget_show(GtkWidget *anything) .

Both of the above widgets(textwidget & textviewwidget)
are subclasses of the gtkwidget , but my problem is :

1.the function#1 does not work with the textwidget .
when I use it with this widget it cause a segmentation
fault during the run time although there is no
compilation errors , but it works correctly with the
text_view_widget.

2.the function#2 does not work with the text_view_widget .
unless I put that widget in scrolledwindow_widget
(the last one is a container) .
when I use function#2 with this widget without having
a scrolledwindow as a container for it , it cause a
segmentation fault during the run time although there
is no compilation errors . I can not put it in a vbox and
then use this function with it , also I can not put it
in another container else than the scrolledwindow because
of the mentioned error .  But function#2 works
correctly with the textwidget.

I am thinking that I must use the text_view_widget
exactly as it was used in the testtext program or it
will cause problems .

Please,tell me if my thinking is wrong and how.
