Showing a specific part of a GtkText

I solved my problem. I was using Gtk-- and the class Gtk_Editable
does not seem to have the equivalent to gtk_editable_set_position().
That GTK+ function does what I wanted, and very simply...

I did notice that this function brings the scrollbar to a specific
position in the text, but by moving the scrollbar one pixel at a
time. When the text is very big, scrolling that way from top to
bottom can be time consuming. Is this behavior configurable?
