This is an excellent description of the gtk+ widget geometry model. Although it isn't at all pygtk specific, I think you should try to find a place in your pygtk FAQ to immortalize it since it is a very common question. Although the gtk+ constraint based widget geometry is more complex than MS-style fixed layouts, it's infinitely superior because gtk+ windows actually resize properly. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
