Why don't you want to use Gtk::ScrolledWindow?  Then, you only need
scroll = Gtk::ScrolledWindow.new
scroll.set_policy(Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC, Gtk::POLICY_AUTOMATIC)
text = Gtk::Text.new.show
scroll.add text

Gtk::ScrolledWindow#set_policy takes args for the horizontal scrollbar and 
the vertical scrollbar, in that order.  From GTK docs:
"The policy determines when the scrollbar should appear...If 
GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS, the scrollbar is always present; if GTK_POLICY_NEVER, 
the scrollbar is never present; if GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, the scrollbar is 
present only if needed"
