Re: [g-a-devel]Why does AccessibleEditableText_insertText require a length argument?

["Padraig O'Briain" <Padraig Obriain Sun COM>]

The prototype for AccessibleEditableText_insertText seems to be based on 
gtk_editable_insert_text.

I think strlen(str) should be sufficient. I would expect specifing -1 will also  
work.
