Re: A question about correct widget packaging sequence

[Stephane Raimbault <stephane raimbault syneo fr>]

Attilio,

The two code sequences seem right to me (certainly a bug in DFB) but I
prefer this packing order :

        box = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 6);
        gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), box);

        frame = gtk_frame_new("blah blah");
        gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (box), frame, FALSE, FALSE, 12);

        button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("Hello world!");
        gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (frame), button);

        gtk_widget_show_all (window);
        gtk_main ();

Like this, I don't forget to pack a widget!

PS: Gnome HIG recommends multiple of 6 (not 5) (12 pixels is recommended
between the contents of a dialog window and the window borders)

PS2: Actual, GTK+ frame sucks !

We need a better API to do this easily (or GTK+ theme, I don't know)
