Hi Steve,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you following your suggestions on this. I tried what you suggested and removed the default size specificiation in Glade. It still didn't work: the window shows up very small (about 200x300 px) then is resized to my stored-preferences size during the next refresh.

What did you mean by "Set the size and position after the window is realized but before is it mapped?" -- how can I do that? I basically just have the following:

        glade = gtk.glade.XML(GLADE_FILE,"browserwin")

        self.window = glade.get_widget("browserwin")

        if not self.window:
            raise RuntimeError("Couldn't load window from glade file")

        _display = self.window.get_screen().get_display().get_name()
        _geom=self.prefs.getGeometrySizePosition(_display,"browserwin")
        if _geom:
            self.window.resize(_geom[0],_geom[1])
            self.window.move(_geom[2],_geom[3])
self.window.connect("delete_event", self.delete_event)


Cheers
JP

Hi all

The following doesn't seem to work for me unless I switch the
'set_default_size' to 'resize'. Is this because of something I'm doing
with Glade?


       self.window = glade.get_widget("browserwin")

       _display = self.window.get_screen().get_display().get_name()

       # my own routine for the previously saved window position....
       _geom=self.prefs.getGeometrySizePosition(_display,"browserwin")

       if _geom:
           self.window.set_default_size(_geom[0],_geom[1])
           #self.window.resize(_geom[0],_geom[1])
           self.window.move(_geom[2],_geom[3])


The problem with this approach is that the window first shows up at the
Glade-specified size, then is resized later to the user-preferenced
default size. So somehow I'm failing to 'set_default_size' before the
window is first drawn.

Does this mean I can't use Glade to create a user-preference-sized
window? Is there a better way of doing all this?

Don't set the size in glade?

Set the size and position after the window is realized but before is it
mapped?

Cheers
JP
