question on GtkScrolledWindow

Hi,

I have 2 questions on GtkScrolledWindow

The 1st.

I want the scroll bar to be "looser". As an example. Suppose I have one item, an icon, in
a horizontally scrollable window. Lets say that the window is 200 pixels across, and the
icon is 10 pixels, with scroll bar "always on" (GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS).

The default visual will be like this:

        +---------------------------------------+
        |               +-------+               |
        |               |       |               |
        |               |       |               |
        |               +-------+               |
        +---------------------------------------+
        |<=====================================>|
        +---------------------------------------+

What I want is the ability to move that individual icon from side to side. This means I
want a smalled scrollbar, so that I can scroll the window "off the screen". Something like
this:


        +---------------------------------------+
        |               +-------+               |
        |               |       |               |
        |               |       |               |
        |               +-------+               |
        +---------------------------------------+
        |               <======>          |
        +---------------------------------------+

How might I achieve this ?

Secondly, How do I control that scrolling programmaticly. i.e. Lets say that then user has
clicked on a button and my response to that click is (among other things), to re-center
the scrolled window (or to center it on a different object).

Which method(s) might I want to be looking at ?

I've looked at the GtkScrolledWindow DevHelp page, and, well, perhaps I'm just not used to
the terms on that page to recognize what I need to look at.

Many thanks in advance.
