Sure, remember that you should not use GtkFixed under almost any
circumstances, GtkFixed is definitely not useful to you if you are
writing an application that is supposed to integrate into a desktop
environment.

With that in mind, just hold SHIFT key down in the workspace... or
push the Drag/Resize button I put on the toolbar because the
SHIFT key was so undiscoverable.

Cheers,

...ofcourse I didnt go through all that trouble just for the
not-so-relevant GtkFixed widget... you can also use drag/resize for
widgets inside more useful containers, like GtkBox and GtkTable...
