The way I've been doing this in my project is to create the page, append it,
then call mysubroutine that finds the last page, and using that as 'current'.
It works good :) I spoze you
could use the label to check? if ==NULL ?

this again can be solved with a subroutine to find the # of the last page

set the focus like this:gtk_widget_grab_focus(notebook->item);

if you have problems figuring out a subroutine, feel free to look at my source

http://shells.clipboard.com/~br0ke/bide

the subroutine I use is b_last() in misc.c, and it's used in spawn_edit() in
new.c
