        tthanks, bbut it isn't what I had in mind.  I want a small SQUARE
        box surrounding the two arrows.  then I will increase the 
        gtk_window_set_default_size() for 840, 100 to {oh}, around 
        850, 1500  (around line 41).  I have an array of strings

        /* pseudo code */
        chat *text[512] = "hi", "hello", "yes", "no", "foobar", "I'm fine,   
            how are you";  

            I want the arrows in a small square box on the upper left, and
            the array of strings on the right-hand side.  when I have 
            figured out [[!!!]] how to make the arrows activate the array
            of strinngs, that's next.  

            right now, since I havent hacked any GTK+ for *years*, iam
            RE-learning how by brute-force.  trial and error and by
            digging in my files from around 2009.

            ps:  thanks for clueing me in on the deprecation....
