Please describe the problem:
the funtion gettextproperty must return the foreground / background colour of
text (if any) in a range. But it doesnt. Even if text has a background colour,
it returns nothing.
I tested this by searching for a word in gedit (in which case the search word
is highlighted in yellow if found in the text), and getting the property of
that word.Also tested with syntax highlighting (in which case foreground colour
changes if a keyword is typed). Still it does not return anything.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open gedit, type some text and search for something in the text. close the
find dialog. note the start position of the searched (and now highlighted) word
in the text (count from 0) and end postion too (= start + length of word)
2. now in a terminal start python and enter "from ldtp import *"
3. then enter "gettextproperty('*gedit','txt0',start,end)"


Actual results:
does not retun any value

Expected results:
it should return :
bg-color: followed by the R,G,B components of the colour used to highlight the
word (yellow by default i.e 65535,65535,30840)

Does this happen every time?
yes
