You want mark_set on GtkTextBuffer. move_cursor isn't a notification
signal; if it were it would be called cursor_moved by standard GTK
conventions. move_cursor is an example of a "keybinding signal", 
it's used to connect a key event to using GtkBindingSet.

I think there's an example of using mark_set in gtk-demo or testtext.
