er... then why do you explain the old API then?
read the api at: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtkeditable.html#GTK-EDITABLE-GET-CHARS you want to use "gtk_editable_get_chars"
which, incidentally is the same function that I suggested ;)

With the new text widget (which I haven't worked with, so all of the
below could be pure fiction and no facts) you access the text through a
"text buffer" that you point into via iterators. To extract text you
use the functions
/**
* gtk_text_buffer_get_text:
* @buffer: a #GtkTextBuffer
* @start: start of a range
* @end: end of a range
* @include_hidden_chars: whether to include invisible text
*
* Returns the text in the range [ start,@end). Excludes undisplayed
* text (text marked with tags that set the invisibility attribute) if
* @include_hidden_chars is FALSE. Does not include characters
* representing embedded images, so byte and character indexes into
* the returned string do <emphasis>not</emphasis> correspond to byte
* and character indexes into the buffer. Contrast with
* gtk_text_buffer_get_slice ().
*
* Return value: an allocated UTF-8 string
**/
gchar *gtk_text_buffer_get_text (GtkTextBuffer *buffer,
const GtkTextIter *start,
const GtkTextIter *end,
gboolean include_hidden_chars);

gchar *gtk_text_buffer_get_slice(GtkTextBuffer *buffer,

To get all the text I guess you'd use
GtkTextIter begin, end;
gtk_text_buffer_get_start_itr (buffer, &begin);
gtk_text_buffer_get_end_itr (buffer, &end);
char *text = gtk_text_buffer_get_text(buffer, &begin, &end, TRUE);

UNIX is the answer, but only if you phrase the question very carefully
