Hi all,

I mean that this is no good way to lookup for the selected rows in a clist
because: the layout of the clist structure should be opaque to the
the user of a clist widget. The GTK/Clist documentation says:

        struct GtkCList;

        This is the embodiment of the GtkCList widget.
        This structure contains only private data, and
        should be accessed only via the CList API.

What do we learn from this? We need an  A P I  for checking the
each row in a CLIST for be selected or not.
