[Glade-users] glade 2.0.1 open .glade file skips width_request and height_request

[Lucas Smithen]

I ran into this problem with glade (not 2).  Basically all the vpane 
windows I created automatically had a Postition set to 1 so they all 
sized to the same location, needing me to resize them manually with hte 
hard to grab pull tabs.  Once I either turned off the position or set a 
position size it was fine for me.
