No.

As a general rule, all Gtk+ widgets keep their own copies of data you pass to 
them (and retain ownership over their own copy). The reason the parameter is 
a gchar ** is probably to avoid const confusion with regard to the 
array/array contents.

No.

(and you really shouldn't be using GtkCList any longer)
