What I might have pointed out a bit more clearly, is that when I say "lots" of widgets, I don't mean 20 or 30 or even 100; I'm talking about literally thousands, or even tens of thousands of widgets. They are buttons, actually, displayed inside a scrolled window, with (to compound matters further) a couple of levels of boxes in between - there may be something like 1000 containers in additions to the buttons. The actual number depends on input data, and with, say, 2-300 buttons, or perhaps even 2-3000, everything is OK, but with something like 20000, problems definitely occur. Like I said, the whole thing could use a redesign, but I was rather hoping I wouldn't have to do one right now, since I need to release a beta within the next few days (or preferably yesterday, as always.) > [ ... ] > > > Gtk version is 2.6.8...

I didn't look at all, actually. One of my colleagues chose this package. I sort of assumed he downloaded the latest stable version for MinGW, but maybe he instead went for something closer to what we are using on Linux - where we always target the software for a somewhat older version so as not to force our customers to upgrade their computers every two weeks. (And I'm quite happy not doing that myself, too. Software doesn't rust...) - Toralf _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
