I forgot to mention that I've set

   gtk_window_set_policy(window->window, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);

To give all the (in my opinion relevant code:

   GtkWidget *window;

   window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
   gtk_window_set_policy(window, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);
   gtk_widget_realize(window);
   gdk_window_set_hints(window->window, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, GDK_HINT_MIN_SIZE);
 
   ....

   GdkImlibImage *im;
   GdkPixmap *pp;

   gdk_imlib_render(im, W, H);
   pp = gdk_imlib_move_image(im);
   gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(window->window, pp, 0);

   gdk_window_resize(window->window, W, H);
   gdk_window_clear(window->window);
   gdk_imlib_free_pixmap(pp);
   gdk_window_show(window->window);

After doing this the pixmap inside window->window doesn't change
its size when resizing the window manually.  But it has done
when I only udes GDK and created a GdkWindow with the HINTS set to
the values above.

Please help me with this question.  I'm in serious trouble.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
