clipboard pasted text highlighting broken?

["Dugas, Alan" <alan dugas analog com>]

Sorry for the repost, but this seems like it's something that someone else would
have run into by now.  Simply put, how do you highlight text in a gtkentry
widget that was pasted there from the clipboard?  Any response would be
appreciated!

Is there something special that needs to be done in order to select text pasted
into a gtkentry from the clipboard?  I am unable to do so using the code below.
If I comment out the gtk_editable_paste_clipboard() line below and insert a
gtk_entry_set_text() line, I can select/highlight the constant character string
used in gtk_entry_set_text().  Can anybody figure out what I'm doing wrong?
Does anyone know if this is a bug in gtk?  Thanks in advance to those who
respond.
