Normally, you just use boxes or something else to align those widgets. Or subclass e.g. gtk.HBox. However, if you feel adventurous, you can play with this incomplete but working example: import gobject import gtk class CustomContainer (gtk.Container): def __init__(self, child): gtk.Container.__init__(self) self.__child = child self.__child.set_parent (self) self.set_flags (gtk.NO_WINDOW) def do_size_request (self, requisition): requisition.width, requisition.height = self.__child.size_request () def do_size_allocate (self, allocation): self.__child.size_allocate (allocation) def do_forall (self, include_internals, callback, user_data): callback (self.__child, user_data) gobject.type_register (CustomContainer) window = gtk.Window () window.add (CustomContainer (gtk.Label ('test'))) window.show_all () window.present () window.connect ('destroy', lambda window: gtk.main_quit ()) gtk.main () _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
