Hi, thanks for the reply ... I've made a version of gtkmenubar that
wraps, by calling gtk_container_queue_resize( self ) inside the
size_allocate method. Working out the geometry almost made my head
explode:/

It flickers like mad (my fault), but it does seem to work. Is this the
approved technique, or is there a safer call?
