  Dan I think you got to use a scrolled window.
  Then follow the code like this.

  c=gtk_scrolled_window_new(NULL,NULL);
  gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport(
                                        GTK_SCROLLED_WINDOW(c),
                                        GTK_WIDGET(text_view));
   
   I know this is not the ideal solution, but it works, as in 
   if you only want to keep the size of the widget constant and let
   the scrollers appear for longer lines, this is the way to go.


   I think you know of the 'gtk-demo', and in case you dont know
   open your shell and bang in 'gtk-demo' at the prompt and click
   at the text widget example.


   Cheers
   Muthu.

Life is beautiful.
