Hey, Eric. I've just tried that function, it didn't do anything, I'm attaching my code so you can see if I'm doing this wrong.
#include <gdk/gdk.h>
#include <gio/gio.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

GdkWindow* gSuperWindow;

static gboolean
press_key (gpointer data)
{
  GdkWindow *window;
  GdkModifierType NO_MODIFIER = (GdkModifierType) 0;
  int* c = (int *) data;

  window = gdk_get_default_root_window();

  gdk_test_simulate_key (gSuperWindow, -1, -1, GDK_KEY_a, NO_MODIFIER,
			 GDK_KEY_PRESS);
  gdk_test_simulate_key (gSuperWindow, -1, -1, GDK_KEY_a, NO_MODIFIER,
			 GDK_KEY_RELEASE);

  (*c)++;

  printf("Char printed\n");

  if (*c < 10) {
    return TRUE;
  } else {
    return FALSE;
  }
}


static void
activate (GApplication* app)
{
  GtkWidget* window;
  GtkWidget* text;
  
  window = gtk_application_window_new (GTK_APPLICATION (app));
  text = gtk_entry_new ();

  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), text);
  
  gtk_widget_show_all (window);

  gSuperWindow = gtk_widget_get_window (window);
  
  g_timeout_add (500, press_key, new int {0});
}


int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  GtkApplication* app;
  int status;
  
  app = gtk_application_new ("linuxrc.eric", G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE);
  g_signal_connect (app, "activate", G_CALLBACK (activate), app);

  status = g_application_run (G_APPLICATION (app), argc, argv);
  g_object_unref (app);
  
  return status;
}
