gtk_editable_select_region and entry

[Olivier Pierard <pierard mema ucl ac be>]

The function hereafter shows a dialog window which contains three frames 
and in each one there is an entry.  I set a text to these entry 
(non-empty) and after I try to select all the text with 
gtk_editable_select_region.  It works properly for the first entry but 
not for the two others.  What's even stranger is that even when I remove 
the three calls to gtk_editable_select_region, first entry is selected 
and the two others are not.

Thank you very much !
