GTK Text widget sends unexpected modifyText event.

In the following test codes;
    Text text = new Text(parent, 0);
    text.addModifyListener(listener);
    text.setText("a");
    text.setText("b");

the listener catches 3 modify events, as follows;
    1, modifyText "a"
    2, modifyText ""  <<< unexpected!!!
    3, modifyText "b"

Thus, when setting a text, the Text widget removes contents first, then set new 
text.

This is unacceptable behavior.  
Many UIs use the modifyText event as a trigger of actions/commands.
It causes wrong UI behavior, and is significant problem.

Win2K Text widget works just fine.
