1.2.x is supported. GtkText is supported for trivial uses
("display/enter some text"). If you try to use GtkText in complicated
ways it's not really very good, so you'll quickly want to get an
add-on widget like GtkExText or Scintilla instead.

Basically, don't try to write a text editor based on GtkText.
