Getting text out of a GtkTextView

["Carl B. Constantine" <duckwing duckwing ca>]

I have a GtkTextView in one of my application windows; mainly because a
GtkEntry is only single width and I want text wrapping and so forth.

Anyway, I'm trying to get the text from the GtkTextView but only end up
with 'null' when I try to print it. Here is a code snipped:

void insertCustomer( GtkWidget	*customers )
{
	GtkTextBuffer	*specialBuffer;
	GtkTextView		*specialView;
	GtkTextIter		*start;
	GtkTextIter		*end;
	gchar*			*specialText;

    specialView = lookup_widget(customers, "cust_instructions");
	specialBuffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(specialView);
	gtk_text_buffer_get_bounds(specialBuffer, start, end);
	specialText = gtk_text_buffer_get_text(specialBuffer, start, end, FALSE);
	g_print("Special Text: %s \n",specialText);
}

I actually want to be able to insert that text into a database field but
it's not working.

Any help is appreciated.
