char gchtxt (GtkWidget *entry, char *tmp){
	 
	 tmp = gtk_editable_get_chars (GTK_EDITABLE(entry), 0, -1);
        /*tmp=(char*)malloc(strlen(tmp)*sizeof(char));*/
	 printf ("This is my text %s\n", tmp);
         return (tmp);

*************main**************
gchar *v 
v=gtk_signal_connect_object (GTK_OBJECT (button1), "clicked",
                             GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gchtxt),entry1);
printf("%s\n",v)
