mailing lists are just like that... if no one happens to see the message
and know the answer before newer messages appear and scroll yours off the
bottom, your message gets lost. :-) Repost, as you are doing.

It comes with gnome-libs. You can rip it out of gnome-libs if you like,
but it will be about 9000 lines of code, where only semicolon-terminated
lines count. More like 25000 without the grep ';' in there. Oh, plus you
need Imlib, so add a few thousand more. :-)

Is your 1 packed with expand and fill set to TRUE?

If you want to center something, a GtkAlignment is often a good choice,
perhaps pack 1 into an alignment. You'll need to pack with TRUE, TRUE
though to get any effect.

gtk_widget_queue_resize() on the child widget (widget 1) can force a
resize, but it may not be necessary if you set expand/fill to TRUE.
