The original Gtk2 code is presented in the first post (and is from Krauses'
book). The idea is simple: having two packed widgets and limited space one
might to scroll one window and the other one follows suit (scrolls the same
amount, both horizontally and vertically). In Gtk2 it works flawlessly, but
I cannot make it work using Gtk3.

Well to me a viewport is a (sub)window of a larger space. Just by using a
viewport you already sending a "message" that you do not want to see all
the contents at once. The same message is implied by using a scrolled
window; hence both widgets should ask for the same space in the vertical
box (as they do with Gtk2).

Proost!
