Bug#249999: libgtk2.0-0: abiword fails to highlight text with gtk 2.4

[Philip Armstrong]

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.4.0-2
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental

I've installed gnome from experimental & abiword is no longer able to
hightlight text (ie click & drag over some text -- I expect the text
to be highlighted with inverse video). The code still works -- you can
cut and paste the 'invisibly' highlighted text, but no visible change
occurs onscreen.
