Hi,
What is the recommended way to determine the optimal size of the subviews
of a window, and of the window containing the subviews, in a GNUstep GUI?
For the Java aware: What is the equivalent of java.awt.LayoutManager?
I'm asking because I'm writing a sample hello-world that demonstrates
the internationalization features of GNU gettext in the context of GNUstep,
and code like the one below with absolute positioning of labels doesn't
work if the translation of a string is larger/longer than the English
original: The size of the label has to adapt, and the size of the window
too.
