However, decorations (buttons) like "maximize", "minimize" and such are maintained and controlled by the window manager, not by GDK nor GTK. All this function can do is to "ask" the window manager to set or unset desired window style properties. It really can't control or enforce the window manager to honor this request. It's up to the window manager to pay attention and to style window borders appropriately. It's important to understand that the window manager is a piece of software which is completely independent from GTK+ / GDK. The same window manager may also control Motif or QT based software which may be running concurrently. As you probably know, there are dozenillions of different window managers around (in the Unix world). The way and extent to which they honor decoration requests varies greatly, from complete ignorance (non-support) to full compliance of all feature combinations. The window managers of various MS-Windows versions (there's only the default one for each version of Windows) are known not to fully honor all combinations of decoration requests, either. They support some combinations of window features but don't support others. So if a function call like the above one doesn't produce the correct result on your machine, then it's a matter of your window manager (perhaps of the window manager theme you use). It will look correct on some other machines with other window managers, but there's nothing you can do to enforce the correct look on all machines. Some window managers may even offer a user option to never suppress buttons like "maximize" or "minimize", as some users may prefer to have *all* their windows resizable and maximizable, whether the application properly supports it or not. In general, there should be very few situations when it makes sense to suppress the maximize button (or resizability) of windows. This is true for both toplevel and dialog windows. While in the MS Windows world this artificial restriction of user's freedom has a long tradition, in the Unix world the opposite is the case, hence the varying support of it. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
