Hi David,

thanks for your feedback. The main reason of connecting signal to
button-press/release-event is that I need them passed through GTK
immodule, namely so they get catched and handled by
immodules/im-multipress.so
I can't just set/update/deleta text directly by textview methods.

Best regards,
Ivan
