Hi Kristopher, I do this by subclassing off gtk_window, and overriding
realize. Something like:
static void
idialog_realize( GtkWidget *widget )
{
iDialog *idlg = IDIALOG( widget );
/* Centre over parent.
*/
if( idlg->window_parent ) {
GtkWindow *pwnd = widget_get_window( idlg->window_parent
);
int x, y, w, h;
int dx, dy;
gdk_window_get_size( GTK_WIDGET( pwnd )->window, &w, &h
);
gdk_window_get_origin( GTK_WIDGET( pwnd )->window, &x,
&y );
dx = x + w / 2 - GTK_WIDGET( idlg )->requisition.width /
2;
dy = y + h / 2 - GTK_WIDGET( idlg )->requisition.height
/ 2;
gtk_widget_set_uposition( GTK_WIDGET( idlg ), dx, dy );
}
if( GTK_WIDGET_CLASS( parent_class )->realize )
(*GTK_WIDGET_CLASS( parent_class )->realize)( widget );
}
Although this works for me, it's a horrible hack. gtk+-2.0 fixes this in
a nice way, so I hope this is just a temporary thing.
