Re: Resizing window

["Samuel Cormier-Iijima" <sciyoshi gmail com>]

Hi,

Sorry for replying so late... but your example didn't really work for
me. Basically, I need a GtkExpander inside a file chooser dialog for
some advanced options. I'd like it to work similarly to the
FileChooserDialog when in "save" mode (try it out with GEdit->Save As,
and the expander makes the window grow bigger to fit the dialog).
However, my expander grows *into* the window - the window doesn't
change size, the filechooser widget shrinks. How can I fix this to
make it act similarly to the open file dialog?

Thanks,
Samuel Cormier-Iijima
