void gtk_editable_insert_text (GtkEditable *editable,
                               const char  *new_text,
                               gint         new_text_length,
                               gint        *position);

position is an in-out parameter, so you have to do something like:

gint pos = 0;

 gtk_editable_insert_text(GTK_EDITABLE(txt),text,strlen(text),&pos);
