Many widgets have their own windows, for instance, text > entries or menus. as of gtk+ 2.18: s/Many/Some/ non-top level widgets (where "top level" here mostly means: GtkWindow and sub-classes, even though GtkMenu has to have a real X11 window associated with it for stacking purposes) that used X11 windows through GDK for event handling and drawing purposes now do not have those X11 windows any more - though they maintain the GdkWindow object for internal state handling and for ABI compatibility. usually, a GdkWindow is not associated to an X11 Window unless you explicitly require a XID out of it - at which point GDK will create a native Window and hand over to you its XID. ciao, Emmanuele. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
