You can adjust the slider with keyboard, so the spinbutton is kinda unnecessary - or you can just insert a value there.. If we put there a slider _and_ a spinbutton, we need to beware of making the dialogs too large - not everyone has a 21" screen with high resolution, and the always-present problem is the screen estate that happens to be too small all the time (except when you are doing a 24x24 pixel gnome-stock icon :) Thoughts? I am open to correction and willing to learn new GUI things :) Tuomas -- .---( t i g e r t @ g i m p . o r g )---. | some stuff at http://tigert.gimp.org/ | `---------------------------------------'
