It works from top to bottom. However, the size_allocate() method (or signal handler if you wish) of the container is run first and it invokes size allocation of its children. Your "size-allocate" signal handler is run after it, i.e. when the recusrive allocation is finished. Obviously you receive "size-allocate" in bottom to top order. If you want to override size_allocate() for containes, I suggest to subclass. > I'm also having trouble installing all the development source packages I > need to see what exactly is going on (ubuntu).

I recommend to also (or even instead) build GLib and Gtk+ with --debug=yes from source and install it to a *NON-SYSTEM* location as this enables one to use the *_DEBUG facilities: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.../gtk-debug/lib GTK_DEBUG=geometry myapp... (hm, I wonder how the `thou shalt not touch Gtk+ source' types do this) Yeti -- Whatever. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
