Re: gtk_entry_get_text() - having problems with return type

["Ben LeMasurier" <uidzer0 hotmail com>]

Well, I tried to do an strcpy() on the string but I am still getting a 
segfault when I try to access it, I also get the same compile time error as 
before - I don't understand why it is telling me "assignment makes pointer 
from an integer" either.

better get the coffee out, this might be a long night for me.

thanks,

Ben

	According to the glib docs, a G_CONST_RETURN gchar* is typedef'ed
to a char* (See glib, basic types in the docs).  But, as it stresses in
the gtk_entry_get_text (), you shouldn'tfree, modify, or store it.  I
think I malloc'ed a temporary variable of type char * and did a strcpy and
that worked fine.  Just don't try storing it with an assignment...
