In gtkmm I use:

	info_display->insert(info_display->end(), msg);

	/* scroll to the end */
	info_display->move_mark(info_display->get_insert(), info_display->end());
	textView.scroll_to_mark(info_display->get_insert(), 0.0);

With info_display as Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::TextBuffer> and
textView as Gtk::TextView.

Just replace with the gtk+ Functions. Hope it helps.
