Like my buddy I wrote lots of KBs of code with says "this is
programming my man" ;)

Please include more info on you problem. The "*crash here*" line looks
just fine, but we don't know what is the entry_widget, what is the
button, the context, and so on.

Try to debug your code step by step - one of the greatest debuggers
even made is "printf()".
By "crash" you mean segfault? That's strange, since GTK doesn't
segfault when fed with wrong pointers (at least in my (little)
experience).

Did you try to narrow down the problem to as simple app as possible?
i.e. get rid of all but the crashing part and see if it still crashes?
