Image windows have an optional status bar which shows width, height, etc. and also current mouse position in x/y image coordinates, and the value of the pixel under the mouse. http://cima.ng-london.org.uk/~john/statusbar.png The labels showing x/y/value have to be fixed in size so they don't jiggle left-right as you move the mouse around. I do this by calling gtk_widget_set_size_request() on them after measuring the size of the largest value I can show in the right font. It seems that calling gtk_widget_set_size_request() on a label locks the size, but doesn't stop the label from triggering a resize when the label's content next changes. Maybe this is somthing that could be changed without breaking anything?
