[Glade-users] vbox in scrolled window...

[James K. Wiggs]

 Damon,

   My apologies; I already fixed this problem.  I thought that message
had gone out to the list, but it's possible it only went to Liam Quin,
with whom I was trading emails when I solved the problem.  I may not
have done a reply-all on that message.  Regardless, the problem is
fixed, and it was indeed what you seem to suspect.  I hadn't dropped
a viewport into the scrolled window before dropping the vbox that
contained the GUI in.  Live and learn...

best,
Jim Wiggs
