   IIRC there were some warning traces calling those on GTK+ 2, possibly
when the area was off-screen. I'll have a look at the implementation of
gdk_window_scroll() and see if the functionality can be copied into
ScrollText.

   Yes. I'll look into this after the current release is cut and will also
upgrade my system to a more modern GTK+/Pango then.
