A text view is not a GtkEditable.

Your code may work with a GtkEntry but not with a GtkTextView,

You may access to the underlying GtkTextBuffer to modify the text, the
GtkTextView is a container. 

GtkTextBuffer *buffer;
  GtkWidget      *tb_result,
                 *top_level;

top_level = gtk_widget_get_toplevel( GTK_WIDGET( tb_result ) );

buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW (tb_result));
gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor          ( buffer,
                                            result,
                                            strlen(result));
