right sizing GtkLayout

[vishnu pobox com]

Hi!

i'm building a screen that will hopefully work similarly to the
"Customize Group" screens in xemacs.  It seems like the GtkLayout
widget is a good choice for the container.  However, when i place
a widget tree on the layout, the layout doesn't default to the
correct size.  When i shrink the GtkWindow, the scroll bars appear
too late, after some of the widgets are already partially hidden.

Is there a trick akin to the gtk_widget_show_all needed by
GtkOptionMenu?  Do i misunderstand the capabilities of the
GtkLayout?  Does it expand & shrink automatically?

i'm using gtk 1.3.x CVS as of Sep 20.
