That all depends on what kind of input method your project plans to use.

For instance, if you wish to use a multipress input method (such as
found on mobile phones) you might like to use (or modify) the multipress
input method that is in GTK+:

Alternatively, you might use an on-screen keyboard (such as in Nokia's
Maemo), or some kind of predictive input that you implement yourself. In
general, it's GtkIMContext that you should be interested in:
