Re: aligning widgets

thanks havoc!

i would much prefer to leave everything to the provided layout
mechanisms in gtk, but i haven't found a way to do and:
1. have my headers not scroll off the page.  i put my table in a
scrolled window, but i'd like to always be able to see
   the headers.

2. some of the columns in the table contain combo boxes.  i'd like to
make the column wide enough to display the
   largest string listed in the combo box's list.  i can do that by
getting the list's font and asking it to calculate
   the width, but i don't know of any way other than then manually
setting the width, to achieve this.

if anyone has any suggestions, i'd love to hear them. :)
