Re: GdkBitmap

[Richard Plana <rplana zicorp com>]

Hi,

I read it but didn't immediately see the inference (I've only been 
programming with Glib/Gtk for about 3 days am still getting used to 
thinking in object-oriented mode in Cand learning from the API reference 
manual). Your posts were definitely useful and appreciated. That 
definitely answered my question.

On a side note: I'm using the GdkBitmap in a call to 
gdk_window_shape_combine_mask() and am wondering if it was intentional 
that doing so would affect gdk_pointer_grab(). It seems that after using 
shape_combine_mask, changing a window's dimensions via 
gdk_window_resize() won't affect the limiting area that 
gdk_pointer_grab() uses. In my experiments, the pointer would still be 
limited to the area of the GdkBitmap regardless of what parameters are 
used in gdk_window_resize.

Thanks for all the help!
