Yes, I'm missing the fact that, apparently, the folks who implemented
the GtkClist also realized that passing "g_list_append()" a pointer to
the first element of a GList, when constructing a list by appending
stuff to it, isn't a very good idea, and keep around a pointer to the
end of the GList and append after that instead....
