Have you got any helpful advice already?

I think that using a GtkScrolledWindow may be not a good choice if you
do not want the visible scrollbars -- a GtkViewport may be what you
want? But still I wonder why hiding the Scrollbars of a
GtkScrolledWindow is not possible. Of course there may exists good
reasons for that. Would be nice to know them. I have not found a C
example code for GTK3 GtkScrolledWindow, so I have not examined that
problem (Ruby bindings work not really well for GTK3 yet) -- maybe when
I have more time.
