I'm a GTK newbie and I'm struggling to add GTK1.2 support for the clipboard. I have (probably awkwardly) implemented the 1.2 support as:

#if (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION >= 2)
   GtkClipboard    *cb;  
#else
   GtkWidget *ge;
#endif
   GString         *CSV_str = g_string_new("");

<snip>

/* Now that we have the CSV data, copy it into the default clipboard */
#if (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION >= 2)
   cb = gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD);    /* Get the default clipboard */
   gtk_clipboard_set_text(cb, CSV_str->str, -1);       /* Copy the CSV data into the clipboard */
#else
   ge=gtk_entry_new_with_max_length(50000);
   gtk_entry_set_text((GtkEntry *) ge,(gchar *)CSV_str->str); 
   gtk_editable_select_region((GtkEditable *) ge, 0, -1);
   gtk_editable_copy_clipboard((GtkEditable *)ge);
#endif
   g_string_free(CSV_str, TRUE);                       /* Free the memory */


The problem that I am having is that at runtime, GTK is complaining:

(ethereal.exe:3436): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3732 (gtk_widget_get_parent_window): assertion `widget->parent != NULL' failed

AND the clipboard contains a truncated version of the GString. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
