Re: forcing window/widget sizes

[Alejandro García Rodríguez <agarcia die upm es>]

	Hi, list!

	I am using sawfish and i have never had any problem with the size
of my windows or widgets. I show you my source (for a 1280x1024 screen):

  //create the main window
  main_window = gtk_window_new( GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL );

  //connect signals with callbacks
  g_signal_connect( G_OBJECT (main_window), "delete_event",
		    G_CALLBACK (gui_file_quit), NULL );
  g_signal_connect_swapped( G_OBJECT (main_window), "destroy",
			    G_CALLBACK (gui_file_quit), NULL );

  //configure its attributes
  gtk_window_set_title( GTK_WINDOW (main_window),
			gui_main_window_title_text );
  gtk_window_set_default_size( GTK_WINDOW (main_window),
			       800, 600 );
  //gtk_window_maximize( GTK_WINDOW (main_window) );

  //show the main window
  gtk_widget_show( main_window );

	If you want to get the window all along the screen, you should use
the maximize api (that what is commented in my source).

	Hope I was useful.
