I'd be interested to hear more about this, as I can't quite imagine how these ``horizontal menus'' look. I assume the're not like like ordinary menus, since you're not using an ordinary horizontal menu bar. Could you perhaps show a screenshot, or maybe an ASCII-art rendering? > Any idea on how I could accomplish this? First of all, note that GtkList is deprecated in favor of GtkTreeView, meaning that the former should not be used in newly written code. Unfortunately, GtkTreeView does not support horizontal orientation either, so this doesn't help you with your problem. I'm sorry that I don't know enough about GTK+ to be able to recommend a solution, but I suppose you could try either subclassing GtkListView, or creating your own widget based on it. I haven't looked into it myself, but it appears swapping x and y -- horizontal and vertical -- throughout the code for GtkListView should not be that hard. > ps: how do you keep posting in the same thread?

To reply to the list, use your e-mail client's ``reply to group'', or ``reply to all'' command, as opposed to ``reply to sender''.
