dynamically allocate text for gtk_clist?

["Nils O. Selåsdal" <noselasd frisurf no>]

Looking at the 
gint        gtk_clist_append                (GtkCList *clist,
                                             gchar *text[]);
function, what is the text parameter supposed to be? must
it be dynamically allocated memory? When can I destroy it?
Or does the function duplicate the texts i send to it?

(and how should I know this?)
