All I ask for is to apply the patch I supplied.

The second is that I use Scheme programming language with GTK-1.2 bindings of my own devise. To be able to use GTK-1.3 I have to create new bindings first (and that is a lot of work since the differences between the two versions are tremendous). > But because guitext.c is being phased out, this might be one >reason why the bug you found in gtktext.c won't be fixed.
