AHA!

I haven't used GtkViewports before. Thanks. Yeah the docs give good 
technical information, but assume a certain level of background 
knowledge about how all the parts fit together, etc.

I've had a little trouble figuring out which signal to use to 
synchronise the 2 hadjustments. The only thing that works for me at the 
moment is the ScrolledWindow's 'event' signal, but as you can imagine, 
this is a pretty noise one to connect to. The ScrolledWindow's 
'scroll-child' signal doesn't seem to fire for me. Am I missing 
something here?
