Thanks, I think your way is the best.  I didn't know
you could make the value appear in the GtkEntry widget
and update it with regards to the slider/scrollbar
movements.  

Can you please send me smallest code snippet that
showes name of slider/scrollbar thing you used
and how you update value in GtkEntry box and read it, etc.???

By the way,
What happens when user types a value in 
GtkEntry widget outside range of the slider/scrollbar???

Thanks,

Chris
