Resizing questions

[Marcus Harnisch <Marcus Harnisch gmx net>]

Hi all,

While playing with GTK+, I wrote a small application that displays a
dialog containing a scrolled window, which in turn contains a table of
buttons (Looks like minesweeper, doesn't it. Nope, it's a `game of
life' variant).

- The default config is a table of 20x20 buttons which are
  gtk_widget_set_usize'd to 16x16. When I used the default table
  options, the buttons would resize according to the window size. This
  takes *several seconds* on my PIII 450. Is there a workaround like
  freezing the output until the datastructures have been reorganized?

- How can I obtain a window that has an initial size which is big
  enough to display the entire table?

- How can I suppress resizing if the window is big enough (=the
  entire table fits in the window)

Thanks a lot,
       Marcus
