Re: [gtk-list] Resizing widgets with a mouse

[Trog <trog gtk org>]

I guess you're asking 'is there a Windows like MDI interface for GTK+'.

The short answer is no. MDI (the MS way) is considered evil UI design.

There are alternatives within GTK:
 o Multiple top-level windows
 o GtkNotebook
 o GtkPaned
