Re: Initial position of windows

[Bruce Sherwood <Bruce_Sherwood ncsu edu>]

I thought I had tried "window->set_position(Gtk::WIN_POS_NONE)" and 
failed, but
trying it again now it of course works. Thanks for the encouragement to 
try again.

I have a related (possibly ill-formed) question: What documentation 
should I have found that
would tell me things like "It's just a namespaced version the GTK+ 
enum"? Is it expected
that one read the gtkmm header files to sort this out? I found the basic 
gtkmm tutorial
quite useful, but at some point I got lost trying to understand for 
example what are the
names of methods for a window when in gtkmm.
