Making some changes to your suggestion the stupid case I mentioned early now
works:

 (define (text-cb text ev)
       (if (= (gdk-event-keyval ev) 41)
	   (call-with-dynamic-root
	    (lambda ()		  
	      (gtk-text-insert text #f #f #f ")" -1)
	      (gtk-editable-select-region text 0 2)
	      (gtk-signal-emit-stop-by-name text "key_press_event"))
	    (lambda (errcode) errcode))
	   #f))
 
I removed the call to gtk_widget_event and added the call
to gtk_text_insert and it works right now. Still think this is a hacky
solution but will do for now. I will try to use it in guile-repl
with a more complicated environment.
