 Thanks that cleared up a lot about tables, I wondered why there was
four arguments and not just two (but obviously you would want to be
able to allocate something into a couple of cells.
 A couple of suggestions though, aren't there always :). You didn't
mention the feature that if you use a gtk_vbox then separators will
be packed so small that they can't be seen, although this may be a bug
that is being fixed. Somewhere you say that everything is allocated
via. gtk_*_new functions and although would be better if it were so,
quite a few have _with_label postfixes :(. One thing that might be
worth putting in before some of the other stuff is something about
modal dialog's. As it seemed natural to look for a
gtk_modal_window_new function but the way it is done is much better, if
not as obvious.

 On a similar note I copied your example program for the
file_selection dialog and played with that a little bit and I managed
to get it to segv :(. I had a quick look and I don't think it is at
your end, although I couldn't reproduce the damn thing to check
:(. But while trying to get that to happen again I noticed that if you
goto / and press TAB twice in the file input area then gtk prints out
a warning. I tried to find out where from but I'm on a stupid NetBSD
box at work and it won't compile it staticly. I'll have a look at home
tonight though and see if I can fix it :).

 Ps. I'm guessing that the hilighting problems are known about Ie. hold
your mouse over a button and bring the window into the foreground. It
also happens in a few other situations.
