Widget choice / top level window resizing

["Matthew Allen" <fret memecode com>]

Hi,

The code I'm porting to Gtk has all it's own layout systems in place anyway and I want to bypass using Gtk 
layout to get something working quickly. At the moment I can get a basic window showing on the screen with an 
appropriate set of child widgets using GtkFixed, however the main window is then "stuck" at the initial size 
that I created it at, i.e. I can't resize it smaller, because all the Widgets have a minimum size as 
specified by gtk_widget_size_request. I'm new to Gtk :)

Anyway I want a way of running my own layout after I get a configure event on the top level window, and NOT 
have the top level window's size limited to the widgets it contains. Is there an easy way of doing that?

Regards
