Well, neither GtkAda-1.3.2/src/gtk-list.ads nor
GtkAda-2.0.0/src/gtk-list.ads have any comments about being
"obsolete". How else would I know?

Clist is certainly more powerful than list. I assume it's code is also
larger, and probably slower. So if all I need is a List, I'll use
that!

Also, I don't see how to put arbitrary widgets into a Clist; there is
no "Set_Widget" function.

On the other hand, the Clist interface does resolve my objection to
the List interface; it is clear what type of objects can be put in the
cells; String or Pixmap.
