Use gtk_container_add(). Otherwise the CList title bar will scroll with list (something you do not want ;-).

Normally you add a widget to a scrolled window with gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport(). The CList however has a viewport of its own (don't blame me if I'm wrong, but that's what I thought it was). Anyway, using a viewport will let all the contents scroll while, in case of a CList, you do not want that.
