[Gtk-sharp-list] gtk_widget_set_uposition

[安小東]

uh....

I have to apologize first.

I didnt decribe my question clearly:

I want to make a panel such as gnome toolbar,

which can autohide or move to the left/right.

I planed to use a gtk_window, which can be set position using the function
"gtk_widget_set_uposition".

But when I plan to move this toolbar to the left,
the x value must set to be minus value.

However, this is not allowed.

Thus, I need some advises.

And thx for Rafael's reply, I'm sorry that I didnt make it clear.

Rgds,
anton
