+	* sources/Gtk.metadata: 
+	* api/gtk-api.xml: Gtk.Editable.InsertText should have the
+	position be marked 'ref', not 'out', because it is an in-out parameter.
+
+	* gtk/Entry.custom: Overload for InsertText.
+	* gtk/Clipboard.custom: New overload for SetText.
+
 	* sources/Gtk.metadata: Mark out params for methods in GtkCalendar,
 	GtkCellRenderer, GtkWindow, GtkRuler, GtkLayout, GtkScrolledWindow
 	and GtkSpinButton. Monotalk is very useful for this kind of work.
