First of all GtkCList does not include native scrolling support, so you would have to use gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport(). Secondly, GtkCList is depreciated and should _NOT_ _NOT_ _NOT_ be used in new applications!!!! (exclamation point times infinity). You should be using GtkTreeView, which does include native scrolling support. You can find a tutorial on this widget at http://scentric.net/tutorial/

Are you adding it to the scrolled window with gtk_container_add() or gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport(). You must use the first function with widgets that have native scrolling support such as GtkTreeView and GtkTextView.

Also, you might want to try setting your scrollbar policies with gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy(). If neither of these works, how about posting some code so I can see what you are doing?
