Wouldn't it be easier to simply add an editor window to your program?
Use for example, the GtkTextView widget. You won't have to spawn
external editors, and always have the text available.
You can even implement cut/copy/paste, re-use recent text, etc.

Also, you launch the reproduction as a thread, and permit editing while
permitting edition.
