Re: Scrolling to end of scrolled window when first displayed

[Micah Carrick <email micahcarrick com>]

There is an example of scrolling a GtkTextView to the end at 
http://www.gtkforums.com/about1307.html

If it's not working "initially" but works in callbacks, perhaps that is 
because the widget isn't shown yet.

After the text view and scrolled window have been shown, do

while (gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration ();

before trying to scroll to the end.

Or perhaps try connecting to the text view's "show" or "realized" 
signals. Not sure if that would work but it's an idea anyway.
