I suspect that what's happening is that the adjustment isn't updated
until the text widget is thawed, so you're really moving vadj to the
_old_ end, not the _new_ end (make sense)?  You should be able to fix
that by swapping the order of the gtk_adjustment_set_value() and the
gtk_text_thaw().

Cheers,
Gary.
