Yes. But I don't see much differnces between these changes
and setting an usize. ;)
And I would prefere code like :

vp = gtk_viewport_new (NULL, NULL);
sw = gtk_scrolled_window_new (NULL, NULL);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (sw), vp);

currently I have to write :

vp = gtk_viewport_new (NULL, NULL);
sw = gtk_scrolled_window_new (gtk_viewport_get_hadjustment (vp),
							  gtk_viewport_get_vadjustment (vp));
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (sw), vp);

to avoid double creation of adjustments.
