get_insert() gets the cursor (insertion point) which won't have moved
when your button_press_event handler is called. If you want to track
where the cursor is, use the mark_set signal on GtkTextBuffer and
check whether the mark which was set is equal to
gtk_text_buffer_get_insert(). (There are marks other than the
insertion point.)
If you don't care about the cursor, you want
gtk_text_view_get_iter_at_location() to find out what text position
the user clicked.
