[pygtk] GTK bug? Or PyGTK bug? Or annoyance (better way to do it?)

[Kohli, Ranjan]

I use the following method to create a text widget, note the insert call,
this will eliminate the gtk_text_set_point error.

	self.tempTextArea = GtkText()
	self.tempTextArea.set_editable(FALSE)
	self.tempTextArea.set_line_wrap(TRUE)
	self.tempTextArea.set_word_wrap(FALSE)
      
      self.tempTextArea.insert(None, None, None, "Some Text")


Hope this helps...

I'm trying to make a GtkText box, give it some text, and have it as a
static display in a window.  I don't like "Gtk-CRITICAL" warnings that
don't seem to matter, but I *REALLY* don't like "Gtk-CRITICAL" and Xlib
errors that lock things up.  Ewww!

Pardon the *really* dumb variable names.

a_message_box = GtkText()
a_message_box.insert_text("this is a test")
a_message_box.set_editable(FALSE)
a_main_vbox.add(a_message_box)
a_message_box.show()
-----

When I run it,

-----
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktext.c: line 879 (gtk_text_set_point):
assertion `index <= TEXT_LENGTH (text)' failed.
-----

There doesn't seem to be any problem in the UI, and everything works
fine.  Sometimes, however (about once out of every five times, but it
varies), this happens

-----
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktext.c: line 879 (gtk_text_set_point):
assertion `index <= TEXT_LENGTH (text)' failed.
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x7c8)!
-----

And after a moment, the whole app locks.  Must quit with Ctrl-\ in the
terminal.  Any guesses or fixes?  Especially fixes or workarounds?

thanks!
