  Correction.   Except the following methods:

Could not write interface proxy GtkEditable.insert_text: No ArgType for
'gint*'
Could not write interface proxy GtkEditable.do_insert_text: No ArgType
for 'gint*'
Could not write interface proxy GtkEditable.get_selection_bounds: No
ArgType for 'gint*'

  But insert_text is also a signal, so you can override the signal.  But
I'm afraid get_selection_bounds can not be implemented.
