 Hi,

 I'm writing a tool for internal use. Anyway, I build up a GtkCTree
containing info and where to find that info in the file (the char
positions) on a text file that I display in a GtkText. 

 The goal is to be able to click on a tree node and "jump" to its place
in the text file. Grabbing the info and connecting to the selection
event goes normal, but there are some problems

 I know GtkText is going to die, but for it's the only one I can use.
Anyway, I'll shoot my quickies:

1- For some unknown reason, insert_defaults(text) would change the
format of my text. Do you know why and how to prevent this? As far as I
guess, it has to do with empty spaces. And btw, there are no tabs in my
text file. I read the file using python and it prints ok (the read text)
on anything from terminal to emacs ... but not in the damn widget.

2-When I use set_position (or the other one, can't remember) to jump, it
jumps ok for the top parts of the file but fails miserably later. I
think it may have to do with point 1. The crazy part is that it still
reports the correct position and when I print that part of the string on
Python nothing is wrong, but all is in the widget. Any help?

3-What is a GdkColor? How can I get red, white, black ... and turn it
into a GdkColor?

Thanks a lot for reading thus far ;)
