Re: ScrolledWindow problem

Gtk::MessageDialog::get_message_area() returns a VBox*, although
gtk_message_dialog_get_message_area() returns a GtkBox* cast to a
GtkWidget*. In the gtk+ documentation it's still called a GtkVBox. Have
they forgotten to change the documentation?

When I searched for [HV]Box, I also saw this code in bin.ccg, where an
HBox* is assigned to Box* vbox:

  //Put them in a VBox:
  Box* vbox = manage(new HBox(false, 5));
  vbox->pack_start(*pmap, PACK_SHRINK);
  vbox->pack_start(*label);
  vbox->show_all();

  //And put that VBox in this:
  add(*vbox);

In the documentation in bin.hg it's called HBox. I suppose the comments
and the variable name in bin.ccg are wrong.
