I use the following code to append to a text buffer and scroll to the
bottom. It seems to work fine for me and doesn't need an idle handler:

               GtkTextView *text_view = GTK_TEXT_VIEW( trace->view );
               GtkTextBuffer *text_buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(
text_view );
               GtkTextMark *mark = gtk_text_buffer_get_insert( text_buffer );
               GtkTextIter iter;

               gtk_text_buffer_get_end_iter( text_buffer, &iter );
               gtk_text_buffer_move_mark( text_buffer, mark, &iter );
               gtk_text_buffer_insert_at_cursor( text_buffer, buf, -1 );
               gtk_text_view_scroll_to_mark( text_view, mark, 0.0,
TRUE, 0.5, 1 );
