Too bad the "set the point" stuff just provoked GTK+ to drop core.

I think I've seen it drop core even *without* the help of that code,
though, once - I think I'd selected a field whose text in the hex window
was scrolled offscreen, or something, and *blammo*.

Hopefully, if and when they rewrite GtkText for GTK+ 1.4:

it'll stop doing that....
