I'm not sure I have understood the whole problem, but I will try to answer.

IMHO you should attach your text to a widget you can retrieve from the button.
1 - you attach the text to widget *wid using 
        gtk_object_set_data(GTK_OBJECT(wid), "text", text);

2 - in the button callback you retrieve this widget (using glade, you can use 
lookup_widget function)

3 - you get back your text using
        gtk_object_get_data(GTK_OBJECT(wid), "text");

Hope this help you.
