Yes there are a lot of sections of the tutorial that have become 
out-of-date and should be rewritten. I lost interest in maintaining the 
tutorial (and time) a couple of years ago due to other commitments, etc. 
I hope someone will volunteer to take up the challenge.

I don't know of any easy way to do this.

If I understand your question correctly I've assumed that when the 
window became smaller than the widget required allocation in a direction 
that the scrollbar would appear.

I think Gian answered this. You'd have to get checkin access (ssh) for 
svn on the gnone servers.
