Re: show signal problem

[Perriman <chuchiperriman gmail com>]

Hi again,

        As I can see, anyone knows how to solve this... Then I will
overwrite the show method of my GscInfo object (inherit from GtkWindow)
and I will emit a "before-show" signal or a "show-info" signal before
to call GtkWindow->show.

Regads,
        Perriman
