        hi jordan,

        damn, I wrote around 15 lines; it got lost...  Anyway, I'm 
        inclosing a screenshot to demo that the 40 lines does do what I
        want.  the gotcha is that I'm pretty sure that the newest GTK
        --3.0--was to NOT use how I had "leftJ.c" coded.  it works the
        way I want, tho.  I do not know what you mean by "padding";
        it is or may be a fine point, but in time this stuff may give 
        me troubles.   ---if you had the GTK 3  libraries installed
        I do have the gcc compile and link line.

        can you point me to some example code?  my "leftJ.c" was my
        example [!]

        ciao!
