Re: [gtk-list] Re: Optimum way to set the width of a clist

[Geert Bevin <gbevin thunderstorms org>]

In fact I've dropped the scrolled window and created a table with the
clist and 2 scrollbars that share the same adjustments. I think that the
procedure below also has to work with the scrolled window.
I'm setting doing gtk_widget_set_usize() on the containing window before
adding the clist and after gtk_window_set_wmclass() and
gtk_window_set_default_size(). The clist doesn't resize the window
anymore. If I recall correctly I did try by setting it on the clist and
that worked, but I set the size immediately after the creation of the
widget.

Hope this gets you a bit further.
