The adjustment for the GtkText widget represents the position in the text.
You can set its value with the set_value() method. Something like:
adj = text.get_vadjustment()
adj.set_value(adj.upper - adj.page_size)
This should adjust where the scrollbar thumb is positioned and the
position in the text.
