Possibly - it's probably not worth extra complexity though, I'm
probably just being paranoid - changing the buffer already results in
"insert_text" and "changed" signals on the buffer and "invalidated" on
the GtkTextLayout.

The "text" property just feels wrong to me, I think it's because it's
a buffer op on the view - I don't know. I'm inclined to leave it alone
and maybe add it in 2.2, unless you or Owen have strong feelings that
it's a good idea. To do anything useful with the text view content in
a GUI builder we'd need special-casing anyhow, and apps can always set
up the widget programmatically.
