I found this to be more difficult that it looked.
The way that I did it for a scrolling text window is to set a Mark at
the end of the buffer like this:
self.endMark = self.msgBuffer.create_mark (
"end", self.msgBuffer.get_end_iter(), gtk.FALSE)
Then (after every text addition), I tell it to scroll to the end, like
this:
self.msgPanel.scroll_to_mark (self.endMark, 0.05,
gtk.TRUE, 0.0, 1.0)
The Mark will "do the right thing" about where it is in the buffer and
how the idle task works.
How not to do it: "scroll_to_iter" looks like it will do the right
thing, but there is a odd timing issue. The new size of the text
window won't be computed until all the drawing is done (it's an idle
task). However, "get_end_iter" and "scroll_to_iter", happen
immediately. So you would tend to scroll near the end, but not quite
to it (very frustrating).
Hope this helps,
-Dan
