I can't believe it's very difficult. I mean, take an example - I'm looking at Evolution right now, a GTK app. I have it maximised; the tree view on the left has no scrollbars. If I make it too thin for the whole tree view to be completely displayed horizontally, guess what? A scrollbar appears. If I make it too short for it to be completely displayed vertically (I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this...:>), hey, another scrollbar appears! Just like that. SURELY this can't be *so* hard for the Mandrake tools to implement? I guess Mandrake has the slight extra problem of starting its tools up with an appropriate window size, but that must surely be possible too. -- adamw
