Sure, what I was referring to is that it's not always easy constraining the size of a single widget, especially when it has to be aligned with ones that have to take longer strings (and still keep an overall balanced dialog layout). Anyways, thanks for your feedback so far. Maybe I've not been communicating my initial idea good enough. Please take a look at the mockup below, the bottom example using a GtkEntryCompletion is how I was tentatively intending to resolve this issue: http://www.abisource.com/~robsta/mockups/gtkentry-units.png The other examples have just been added to contrast how somewhat awkward and clunky the separate units entry looks and how much easier the single-entry solution can be read.
