OK, it works now: I've put the set_text function *after* I show
all the windows - you don't need the gtk_widget_realize in that case,
of course.

I've tried to spot which call had to be made in my code so that
I can start writing in my text widget - in my code, it seems so 
be the line:
     gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), mainbox); 

Is this correct? For example:if I do:

    gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), mainbox); 
    gtk_widget_realize(text);
    gtk_text_insert (GTK_TEXT (text), NULL, NULL, NULL, "ca marche",-1); 

it works, but if I do:

    gtk_text_insert (GTK_TEXT (text), NULL, NULL, NULL, "ca marche
pas",-1); 
    gtk_widget_realize(text);

it doesn't.


BTW, this explanation should go straight into the GTK tutorial _
Ian Main, are you around?

Thanks a lot
