I tried your code, it gives me:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_selection_get_selected: assertion `selection->type !=
GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE' failed at /home/wangy22/trunk/destcnltr line 670.

I modified it and it works again:

    $treeview->get_selection->signal_connect (changed => sub {
        my ($selection) = @_;
        my $path = $selection->get_selected_rows;
        $selection->get_tree_view->scroll_to_cell ($path) if ($path);
    }); 

Any comments?

Thanks!
