Subject: [PATCH] Spin event loop to process pending UI updates before checking
 the pasted content on the Text.

As content copy/paste works well manually junit fails because junit
checks the text content well before it is updated by GTK. So it is a
timing delay. Processing all the pending events make sure text is
updated(Either by introducing some delay in junit or really processing
any pending UI updates).
