	    In order to use this function, you should first call

	    to get the current context, and
	    call this function immediately afterwards to make sure that you

	    This function is used by an input method that wants to make

          <para>
	    This function is implemented by emitting the <see cref="E:Gtk.IMContext.RetrieveSurrounding" /> event on the
	    input method; in response to this signal, a widget should
	    provide as much context as is available, up to an entire

	    is no obligation for a widget to respond to the <see cref="E:Gtk.IMContext.RetrieveSurrounding" /> signal, so
	    input methods must be prepared to function without
	    context.
