The bad news is, you're going to have to connect an appropriate signal handler and do the resize yourself. The good news is, it's not too hard. If you layout is simple, you can do win.resize(1, 1) and GTK+ will automatically pick an appropriate size. One of my apps has a slightly more complicated layout. It contains a ScrolledWindow that will happily shrink smaller than I want, so instead I do win.resize(*self.scrolled_child.get_size_request()) -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
