getting the size of a drawing area

[John C Atkeson <jcatkeson juno com>]

  I'm using widget->allocation.width and .height to determine the shape
of my drawing area at runtime, but am getting funny results.
  
  I set allocation.width and .height to 700x500 at startup - and they
stick there for the entire life of the program, even after the user has
resized the window/widget many times and the drawing_area is obviously no
longer those proportions.  
  
  How can one not be equal to the other?  
  
  John
