When retrieving text, you need to use iterators, see here:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-GtkTextIter.html

Iterators are used when retrieving the text, to do this you can get away
with:

      GtkTextIter iter_start;
      GtkTextIter iter_end; 

      gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds(GTK_TEXT_BUFFER(buffer), &iter_start,
&iter_end);
      gtk_text_buffer_get_text(GTK_TEXT_BUFFER(buffer), &iter_start,
&iter_end, TRUE);
