That is as I had expected :-/

The widget resizes but the image itself stays the same size.

Incidentally, has the API changed for timeouts between Gtk and Gtk2? Gtk2->timeout_add doesn't seem to work. 
I have browed through the various documents but didn't see anything pertinent, although this could be because 
I have a mild allergy to manuals :-p

Thanks a lot,

Gavin.
