Window Size

["Brian C. Lane" <nexus tatoosh com>]

  I seem to be having a problem getting the size of my main window.
Everything I try is returning 1x1...

  I create the main window, realize it, create some hboxes and a vbox and
pack them into the window, showing them after they are packed. I pack a
bunch of buttons into the boxes, showing them after they are packed. I
then call gdk_window_get_size( window->window, &width, &height) to get the
size of the window. I get 1x1. I've also tried looking directly at
window->allocate.width/height with the same result.

  It does the same thing when I show the main window before doing the size
check.

  I've stepped through it with gdb, and the width/heigh never get changed.
What actually updates these values? Does it wait until the main gtk loop
is entered?

  Arrg?!
