 GList *l;

 for (l = GTK_CLIST (clist)->selection;  l;  l = l->next)
 {
    gint rownum = GPOINTER_TO_INT (l->data);
    g_print ("Row %d is selected.\n", rownum);
 }

gboolean
clist_is_row_selected (GtkCList *clist, gint rownum)
{
  g_return_val_if_fail (GTK_IS_CLIST (clist), FALSE);
  g_return_val_if_fail (rownum >= 0, FALSE);
  return (g_list_find (clist->selection, GINT_TO_POINTER (rownum)) != NULL);
}

Probably because people usually want to know which rows are selected, and not 
whether a particular row is selected or not, and because it's basically a 
one-liner, and because at some point people started working on a far superior 
replacement for GtkCList </wild guess>
