confused by CList

[Peter Jay Salzman <p dirac org>]

I'd like to make a clist which will definitely need a vertical
scrollbar.   I'm having great difficulty.  :(

1- The scrolled window acts as if the clist doesn't need scrollbars.
when I set policy by:

   gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy(MasterDirScrollWin,
      GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC);

Both scrollbars disappear (I was expecting just the horizontal scrollbar
to vanish).  The data is obviously there (I can see a little bit of the
next line poking its head from above the bottom of the viewport.

2- The columns aren't being set to a good size.  My data looks like:

   COLORMAP | /usr/local/share/games/doom/doom2.wad |  23144 | 123432
   VERTEXES | combine.wad                           |  1233  | 12

but instead, what I'm seeing is:

   COLO | /usr |  23 | 123
   VERT | comb |  12 | 12

Is the clist supposed to negotiate the column size from the largest
element or do I need to do this?


Here is the code.   Any code tips would be greatly appreciated!  I'm
brand spanking new to gtk programming.

      /* pack the scrolled window in frame */
      gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(MasterDirFrame), MasterDirScrollWin); 
      /* pack the frame in the top level vbox */
      gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(InfoPage), MasterDirFrame, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
   }
