What you rather want to do is to _get_ the vadjustment (which is a
GtkAdjustment object) and set it's value to the upper bound of it
(which translates to "the scrollbar to the end position"). Something
like this:

  vadj = gtk_scrolled_window_get_vadjustment(swin);
  gtk_adjustment_set_value(vadj, vadj->upper);

Depending on the widget you use, there might be even better ways to do
this, but this should work if you always just want to go to the end.
