Well I did it, thank you very much!
void
cb_gtk_handle_selection (GtkTextBuffer *buffer)
{
GtkTextIter start;
GtkTextIter end;
gtk_text_buffer_get_selection_bounds (buffer, &start, &end);
}
int main ()
{
...
g_signal_connect_swapped (buffer, "notify::has-selection",
G_CALLBACK
(cb_handle_selection_mouse), buffer);
...
}
