It depends on yer urgency, GtkText seems to work out for the most part.

The crashes and other unusual behavour happen when you freeze/thaw
the text widget.

Try not to do too many things while the GtkText is frozen, for example no
gtk_main_iteration() and no combinations of insert and delete while the
GtkText is frozen.
