Your assessment is correct, and as far I understand it (which is pretty far) it is not correctable in any sane way. The documentation for NSWindow and NSView, the Cocoa/Quartz classes make it clear that the basic drawing model in Quartz does not support clipping like this. > Our windowing system doesn't use GTK's preferred "packing" model, where > sibling widgets are arranged side-by-side without overlapping each > other.

So we use the GtkFixed class for our generic windows.

That is correct, and will never work on Quartz (at least not without a huge amount of disgusting hackery). Apple specifically warn against using this kind of design. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
