You can call "gtk_container_disable_resize" to disable automatic
resizing of the container when a new widget is added. Calling
"gtk_container_enable_resize" turns automatic resizing back on and, if
a widget has been added or removed, will cause the container to
resize.
I think I'll look into doing something like Tk does. Install an idle
proc when a container needs to be resized inorder to defer the actual
resizing until the events in the queue have been flushed. (Idle procs
only run when there are no events).
