        Use gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds() to get the start and end iterators.

GtkTextIter *start, *end;
view = gtk_text_view_new ();
// my text view..
buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (view));
gtk_text_buffer_set_text (buffer, "My test Message from code..",-1);
gtk_text_view_set_left_margin (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (view), 30);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (GTK_DIALOG (popup)->vbox),
                        view, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds (buffer, start, end);
text = gtk_text_buffer_get_text (bugger, start, end, TRUE);

NOTE: I have not tested this code but it should work.
