textarea buffer

["Chandrashekhar V. Joshi" <cvj telco co in>]

Hi,

I am writing a gtk+ application wherein i have a GtkText widget. I need to
post(insert) some text lines to this textarea. No problem upto this. But now as
i keep on inserting the text the buffer also increases thus incrementing the
load on the memory. I need to control this buffer such that if text increase
beyond certain limit it should free the excess buffer. Any idea how i can
achieve this?

Thanks in advance.
