[pygtk] Textview to Tail a log file

[Mark Stahler]

Hi,

I am new to GTK+ so please go easy on me. I am puzzled as to why my 
simple function is not working:

def refreshLog(self):
        file = open('log.txt')
        string = file.read()
       
        textview = self.gui.get_widget("bottom_textview")
        textbuffer = textview.get_buffer()
        textbuffer.set_text(string)
       
        iter = textbuffer.get_end_iter()
        iter.forward_to_end()
        print iter.is_end()
        print textview.scroll_to_iter(iter, 0, True) 


is_end returns true so I know my iterator is at the end of the text file 
yep scroll_to_iter returns false and does not scroll at all. What is 
wrong? Could it be something in my glade file? The rest of the gui 
works. Thanks
