In the specific example of GtkCList, you should use GtkTreeView.  Though 
hopefully you figured that out (see the "Tree and List Widget Overview" in 
the GTK+ reference manual for more information).

If you spot any cases where something is deprecated but where the replacement 
is not cited, perhaps you should file that as a bug in bugzilla?   Hopefully 
the API notes will get fixed that way.

I've done a bit of porting from GTK 1 to 2 and may be able to help if you 
encounter further problems.

Good luck
