Text always selected in entry

["Egon Andersen, Talura" <post talura dk>]

Hi,

GTK2:
It seems that the default text in an entry is always selected when
entering the field. How do I prevent that from happening. I've tried
gtk_editable_select_region with start and end set to 0, but this does
not help.
Do someone have an idea about how I get past this problem?
