Re: How to get width and height while resizing window?

[Ken Resander <kresander yahoo com>]

LiNuCE, many thanks!

configure-event is what I need.

There are no duplicates for this signal.

I am still curious though to find out why the size-allocate signal consistently produces duplicates. Feature or bug?
