        Well, I'm newbie, too, but You should (hope so:) put GtkTextView inside
a GtkScrolledWindow. Something like:

code >>>

GtkWidget *scrolled_window;
        
scrolled_window = gtk_scrolled_window_new (NULL, NULL);
gtk_scrolled_window_set_polici (GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW (scrolled_window),
                                GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC,
                                GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC);

.... then, pack scrolled_window somewhere, maybe a vbox, or sometnig?

.... then, do:

gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (scrolled_window),
                        GtkTextView_widget); <= Your GtkTextView widget

....yes! You also need to do:

gtk_widget_show (scrolled_window)
gtk_widget_show (GtkTextView_widget);

<<< code end.

        Hope this helps,
        Vladimir.
