Thank you for the hint. This indeed solves the problem for me.

It still puzzles me that such a solution is necessary for such a
simple problem. How could a gtk-newbie ever find this solution on his
own..... very strange really.... makes me wonder if something like Qt
would be more usable.

All the best,
Chris
