No suggestions here, but I've run into a situation where I'd really like
to have the CList take as much space as it needs, as well.  In my app,
I'd like to have a whole bunch of tables, displayed one after another,
with a vertical scrollbar to scroll through all of them.  I'd like to use
a GtkScrolledWindow to wrap up all the tables.  Think of it like a bunch
of HTML tables in a web browser, with your one scrollbar on the right.
Unfortunately, I've not found an easy way to do this...and, no, I don't
consider computing how large the full CList would be and allocating that
much space to be an _easy_ (or sane) way.
