I've been hacking away at a small e-mail client, and I would like to do a
few things with GTK that are a bit off the beaten track.
* I have a list of messages in a scrolling window, and a text window
directly under it. I would like to be able to re-proportion the sizes
of the two windows by a click/drag somewhere between them.
* In the message index, which is a gtk_list (actually 3 with the mouse
click events linked together), I would like to designate a different
action for each mouse button pressed. Specifically, I'd like a popup menu
of mail folders to come up (for moving mail messages) bound to the right
button. I think this could be solved by inheriting the gtk_list and then
overriding the mouse event and adding a new signal; however, I'm not
farmiliar with GTK's object/class emulation to be sure this would work
that easily.
I've also had a problem which might be a bug in GTK. I first create a
scrolled window, and set up the main window. Later on in the program I
create a list of messages and add it to the scrolled window with
gtk_container_add. When I do this, the scrolled window remains grayed
out, but the scroll bars adjust as if the list had been added. If I then
do a gtk_widget_hide and then a gtk_widget_show on the scrolled window,
the list shows up correctly.
