Re: Help with GdkWindow size

[David Marceau <uticdmarceau2007 yahoo ca>]

There is a difference between resize and expose events.  You're going to
have to take care of this difference within your code and possibly force
the expose event to trigger a resize event which is not necessarily done
by default.

The urls below show how to set the configure event in X, Motif and
GTK/GDK to the appropriate window resize callback.  The gtk tutorial
mentioned a drawing area pixmap to be removed and recreated with the
correct size.

With all the above being said, have you succeeded in running your app on
the newer os without changing the lines of code?  I tend to believe you
don't need to change your c code if you simply recompile and run on the
newer os.  Motif Libs exist on the newer os, just to get it running.
