It should work OK in main.c. (There used to be a problem where you
couldn't set the text before the widget was realized but I think that
was fixed before GTK+ 1.2.0.)

e.g.

  GtkWidget *window, *text;
  char *s;

  window = create_window1 ();
  text = lookup_widget (window, "text1");
  s = "Hello World!";
  gtk_text_insert (GTK_TEXT (text), NULL, NULL, NULL, s, strlen (s));

This just worked OK for me.
