(1) If you work with glib and gtk+, you shouldn't use malloc, but
    g_malloc and g_new instead.
(2) You don't need to allocate any memory for str in this case.
(3) gtk_entry_get_text() returns you a pointer into the GtkEntry
    widget that you should never change or free.

I guess you are seeing a segfault here, because you free'd the
result of gtk_entry_get_text(). 


Salut, Sven
