After investigating a little more myself, the solution seems to be rather straightforward: calling gtk_window_resize(dialogue, 1, 1) collapses the dialogue to the minimum size required to display the dialogues contents. If anybody has another interesting method, please forward, I prefer to know multiple ways of getting where I need to be. At the same time, this problem is now solved. cheers, richard On Sep 26, 2006, at 3:50 PM, Richard Boaz wrote: > Hi, > > I have a simple dialogue widget holding server names and the > databases they individually serve.
