Hi Michael, Thanks for listening to me :-) > GtkWidget provides a couple other signals that might be of interest > though: "unmap", "unmap-event", and "visibility-notify-event".

Yes this was also the problem I faced, I read about these signals in GTKs documentation but desperatly tried to find a way for listenig these events in Gdk. Any hints about that, maybe someone else could help *please*, I just don't know enough about GTK *ashamed* :-/ > HTH, and I hope you have some good success in improving GTK's redraw > performance. Well gtkperf showed a 35% improvement just beceuase of modifications in the double-buffer code on nvidia graphics hardware :-) lg Clemens _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
