Hi,

since GTK-- has such a function, I looked up the source and found
out how it works. Here's it translated to C:

void gtk_clist_focus_row (GtkCList *clist, gint row)
{
    clist->focus_row = row;
    if (clist->freeze_count == 0)
        gtk_widget_draw (GTK_WIDGET (clist), NULL);
}

Cheers,
Daniel
