IIRC there is a Text property on the TextBuffer class. You can probably
get the relevant text buffer with a Buffer property - until the C# docs
are complete, it often helps to check the Gtk+ docs for better info.

If you destroy the window, it is no longer usable. 
If you hide the window and you find that it is getting destroyed implicitly, you need to call window.Ref() before hiding it so that Gtk doesn't decide it's no longer needed....
