For some stupid, foolish reason, I've come to believe that that main window is a useful construct (I'm using version 1.0.A, Sun 3/160 running 4.0.3), if you could actually get it to work with something! I am trying to use a MainWindow with a DrawingArea for the work window. Good luck! The DrawingArea gets placed at some random place. So, I tried adding in a Frame in between the MainWindow and the DrawingArea. Seems to work. ***However, the DrawingArea doesn't seem to be getting exposeEvents.*** Before: MainWindow MB ComW WorkW / | \ MenuBar Form Drawing Area After: (note: you SHOULDN'T have to do this...this is a bug workaround) MainWindow / | \ / | \ MenuBar Form Frame | | Drawing Area Somehow, does the loss of expose events have to do with the insertion of the frame as a work window? Or is there something basically wrong with this workaround? I would think not. -Mark Gerolimatos
