Hello, a hint to 60MB of sourcecode (18.000+ pages if printed out) is no good answer to such a question from someone new to gtk. Especially with all that hurdles like GSEAL to understand it. A clue to understanding gtk is certainly to understand the difference between gtk.Window and gtk.gdk.Window (here in the spelling of pygtk). Thus to read and thoroughly understand http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWindow.html and http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-Windows.html Good luck, Joost _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
