I was worrying about a code snippet which looks like: CCanvas::CCanvas(GtkWidget *pCanvas, CPangoCache *pPangoCache) : CDasherScreen(pCanvas->allocation.width, pCanvas->allocation.height) { ... } With "my" method, it would become CCanvas::CCanvas(GtkWidget *pCanvas, CPangoCache *pPangoCache) : CDasherScreen(gtk_widget_get_allocation(pCanvas)->width, gtk_widget_get_allocation(pCanvas)->height) { ... } The work-around with the current definition doesn't look so pretty...
