I did something similar to this during the last weekend,
I also refactored the interesting parts into an example, to be able to 
copy/paste from when you want to implement a scrollable container.

Does that help you?

Container properties are untested there's probably some missing 
functionality too. Can you please put this in bugzilla with a minimal 
testcase and let's see if we can have it fixed for PyGTK 2.8.5.
