Hi Rob,
if you look in the testgtk example of the CList, the titles are not
going away.
You can try to follow what they did. The CList I have don't have the
titles-going-away behaviour either.
Send me the piece of code where you create your CList if you want.

About the lines inbetwen rowss, what you need to do is to have a
different background 
color for the clist and for the rows. I did change my background color
for the rows
and everything works fine. You can also change the CList background
using the 
themes functions.

I hope it can help
