I'm also having trouble getting the GtkLayout resized properly if the 
main window changes size. It looks like GtkLayout and it's container 
element GtkScrolledWindow do not send out configure_event's when the 
main GtkWindow is resized. Is this true?

I have tried attaching a configure_event to the window itself and 
calling getting the size of the GtkScrolledWindow in the code, but that 
doesn't work. The resizing of the GtkLayout starts to lag a couple of 
frames behind the actual resize so it ends up at an incorrect size. 
Setting the configure_event to shoot after the class function improved 
it a little, but it still lags.

Any solutions to this? Thanks!
