I took ``resize a window gradually (as if animated)'' to mean programatically issuing a series of resize requests to make a window expand slowly instead of instantly taking on another size. The xmbdfed font editor, for instance, does this --- rendering it completely useless under ratpoison. Just try to make the xmbdfed window bigger, and you'll see that under a traditional window manager the application will *animate* itself back to its desired size. -- Daniel Brockman drlion@xxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
