Re: Can't position Gnome2::Canvas within Gtk2::Frame

Well, first time for me using Gnome canvas. Easy apt-get on Ubuntu and your code works.

When you call show all on the top level window it goes through the widgets that have been added to it and does a few things for each widget. You can connect to a callback if you need to do or get something at a certain time.

I usually work with GTK3 and cairo is the drawing library that is used there. If you really get into drawing there is a lot that you can do in GTK3. You can draw with cairo or opengl. Also transparency works well so that adds to what you can do. There is a frame clock for animation. There is also CSS that you can set widget colors and properties with.
