Did you try it with a hbox to put the scrollable vbox and the textwidget
in it.
To add both widgets, use the following:

 box = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE, 5); /* hbox for scrollable and textwidget */
 gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), scrollable_vbox, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
 gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), text_widget, TRUE, TRUE, 0)
