Because GtkText is buggy... :-(

If you are trying to make heavy use of GtkText, you might want to try
a different text widget such as Mikael Hermansson's GtkExText, which I
believe is quite compatible with GtkText.

GTK+-2.0 will have a new, much more powerful and stable text
widget, but that is pretty tied to the unstable branch of 
GTK+.
