The documentation for GtkScrolledWindow says that I shouldn't
have to:

    The scrolled window can work in two ways. Some widgets have
    native scrolling support; these widgets have "slots" for
    GtkAdjustment objects.[5]  Widgets with native scroll support
    include GtkTreeView, GtkTextView, and GtkLayout.

    For widgets that lack native scrolling support, the
    GtkViewport widget acts as an adaptor class, implementing
    scrollability for child widgets that lack their own scrolling
    capabilities.  Use GtkViewport to scroll child widgets such
    as GtkTable, GtkBox, and so on.
