Fwd: Re: window resizing

[Richard Gipps <rgipps netspace net au>]

Paolo,
        Thanks for your reply and comments.  I have implemented the 
changes which I have included below, but I still have the same 
problem.  Maybe it is a bug?

GtkWidget* create_Start_up_wnd(void)
{
  GtkWidget* Start_up_wnd;
  char*          Start_up_wnd_text;
  GtkWidget* Start_up_wnd_label;

  Start_up_wnd = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons("P-Syn",
                                             NULL,
                                             GTK_DIALOG_MODAL,
                                             GTK_STOCK_OK,
                                             GTK_RESPONSE_OK,
                                             NULL);
  gtk_widget_set_size_request(Start_up_wnd,460,220);
  gtk_window_set_resizable(GTK_WINDOW(Start_up_wnd),FALSE);
  gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(Start_up_wnd),GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);

  Start_up_wnd_text = g_strdup_printf("      P-Syn Version %s, Copyright

details\nselect Help -> Warranty from the P-Syn main menu. This is free\n 
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain\nconditions; 
select Help -> Distribution from the P-Syn main menu.",P_SYN_VERSION);
  Start_up_wnd_label = gtk_label_new((gchar*)Start_up_wnd_text);
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(GTK_DIALOG(Start_up_wnd)->vbox),Start_up_wnd_label);


  //Connect signal to the OK button
  g_signal_connect_swapped(Start_up_wnd,
                           "response",
                           G_CALLBACK(gtk_widget_destroy),
                           Start_up_wnd);

  g_free(Start_up_wnd_text);
  return Start_up_wnd;
}

Richard.
