No. I checked in a temporary patch until I find the right solution.

It's built entirely on my sid system. An I reproduced this behaviour
yesterday on a RedHat 7.3 system.

It isn't documented, but I found this (old) mail on gtk-devel-list :
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/1998-October/msg00031.html
and this comment in gtkclist.h (from gtk+ v2.2.4) :
/* return the row column corresponding to the x and y coordinates,
 * the returned values are only valid if the x and y coordinates
 * are respectively to a window == clist->clist_window
 */
gint gtk_clist_get_selection_info (GtkCList *clist,

So it seems we have to make the window == clist->clist_window test. BTW,
the test is used and works fine in our gtk v1.2 code.

I'll ask on the gtk lists for this.

P.S. : sorry for the duplicate mail, Guy, I forgot to Cc the list in my
first reply.
