Re: Gtk::Expander contract

[Christopher Lang <christopher lang acurana de>]

I tried all kinds of resize, set_default_size ..._size in the signal handler 
as suggested, no success. After some more googling I found the solution:

In order for the Expander to contract his parent window the parent 
windows "resizable" property needs to be set to "false".

Well, that is logical...
;-)
