Thanks

My problem was that GTK automatically chose the label to have
focus every time. I solved it by grabing focus on the scrolledwindow in
stead. I want the text to be selectable in case somebody wants to copy
it, but I don't want to have the cursor there initially as it clutters
the text.

How is GTK deciding what to give focus if no Grab_Focus[*] has been used? Does
buttons have precidence?

Another question. For a scrolledwindow PageUp and PageDown works to
scroll up and down, but not the arrow keys. Do one have to bind this
manually?

[*] The function name in Ada I guess it is something similar in C.
