Hi,

Nothing at all happens when I have an InsertAtCursorHandler (seemingly)
connected, so it's difficult to describe in more detail. When I have a
Changed handler connected to the TextBuffer I get:

(test-text:1515): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer
instance

(test-text:1515): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gsignal.c: line 1601
(g_signal_connect_data): assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)'
failed

on the console.

I've attached a small test case that demonstrates the problem on my
machine. I've tested against mono 0.15, gtk-sharp 0.4 and the problems
I've described occur. I compiled it with:

 mcs  -o test.exe testTextevents.cs -r glib-sharp.dll -r pango-sharp.dll
-r atk-sharp.dll -r gdk-sharp.dll -r gtk-sharp.dll -r art-sharp.dll -r
gnome-sharp.dll

To get the warnings to appear I just have to run it.

All I really wanted to do was detect what the user has just typed into a
text widget, and depending on what they typed, insert text
automatically. It sounded like the InsertAtCursor event would be just
right...
