RE: Paned questions

[rhfreeman <rhfreeman micron com>]

As much as I hate to follow myself up! I've got the resizing working
properly now thanks to using the resize event. A lot easier than I thought
it would be.

Now the other problem I've got also exists in the paned.c example program
that comes with GTK. When you maximise the window, only the bottom widget
gets expanded and the top widget remains the same size. I'd like them to be
expanded proportionally together! Is there anyway of doing this?

Thanks again!
