Actually I fixed it, as I suspected I could, by changing the order in
which things are done.  If you freeze, set the point, insert the text,
make and attach the scrollbar, show the textbox and scrollbar, and then
thaw the textbox, that has the desired effect (use 0 as the argument to
gtk_text_set_point).  Weird.  GTK is great, but the documentation could be
a bit more robust - oh well, GTK is fairly young, it'll get there soon.
