This method needs set_focus_vadjustment() to be called on the appropriate scrollbar from the GtkList in order for it to work. It scrolls the list to a predetermined position according to the GtkScrollType setting and, if a selection has been made and the list's selection mode allows it, will automatically select the child nearest to the new scroll position.

The position parameter is only used where the enumerated value is GTK_SCROLL_JUMP, when 0.0 sets the scroll to the topmost item and 1.0 to the final item. Values between 0.0 and 1.0 describe the percentage of the distance scrolled, i.e. 0.5 would set the scroll so that the last visible item is the one holding the halfway position in the list.

Where any other GtkScrollType is set, the position is required but is then ignored.
