What do you do with link after the append?

gtk_text_insert copies the text inserted, printf sends the text to
stdout, and couldn't care less what happens afterwards, but
g_list_append just inserts the pointer.

If you mess around with line after the append, you're probably
shooting yourself in the foot...and this could be what happens.

If you copy line before you append it, it should work fine...
