[Fwd: Re: How to get the the current size of a widget?]

If you look at the GtkWidget structure you will find it contains an
GtkAllocation  allocation, which is a simple rectangle.  It is set to
the widget's current size by the configure or realize event of all
widgets.  You can use its value reliably almost anytime after the
gtk_main() has had an opportunity to run and start processing
events/messages.

example:
widget->allocation.x
widget->allocation.y
widget->allocation.width
widget->allocation.height
