Put a freeze...thaw pair in your callback function, so it becomes:

void callback(GtkWidget *widget,gpointer data)
{
    static GdkFont *font;

font=gdk_font_load("-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*")
;
    gtk_text_freeze(GTK_TEXT(data));
    gtk_widget_realize(GTK_WIDGET(data));
    gtk_text_insert(GTK_TEXT(data),font,NULL,NULL,
                    "THIS IS A TEST...TESTING..TESTING...\n", -1);
    gtk_text_thaw(GTK_TEXT(data));
}       

I don't think this *should* be required, but the text widget is umm,
non optimal in the working department :-)
