How do you know how toc ompare two types of data?  CLists can contain more 
than just plain text, so you can do a string comparison in teh general case.
That's where gtk_clist_set_)comparefunc comes in... it appears to set the 
comparison function that is used (I'm guessing from the RDP pages, since no
description is yet there, but it would make sense).
