POHow do I get the size of a pygtk window?

Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to use gtk.window.get_size(), but it always just returns the default width and height. <a href="http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--get-size" rel="nofollow">The documentation says</a></p> <blockquote> <p>The get_size() method returns a tuple containing the current width and height of the window. If the window is not on-screen, it returns the size PyGTK will suggest to the window manager for the initial window size. The size obtained by the get_size() method is the last size received in a configure event, that is, PyGTK uses its locally-stored size, rather than querying the X server for the size. As a result, if you call the resize() method then immediately call the get_size() method, the size won't have taken effect yet. After the window manager processes the resize request, PyGTK receives notification that the size has changed via a configure event, and the size of the window gets updated.</p> </blockquote> <p>I've tried resizing the window manually and waiting a minute or so, but I still get the default width and height.</p> <p>I'm trying to use this to save the window size on quit so that I can restore it on start. Is there a better way to do this?</p> <p>Here's the code snipit I have for my main quit.</p> <pre><code>def on_main_window_destroy(self, widget, data=None): if self.view.current_view.layout == 'list': self.view.current_view.set_column_order() width = self.main_window.get_size()[0] height = self.main_window.get_size()[1] #test statement print (width, height) self.prefs.set_size_prefs(width, height) self.prefs.set_view_prefs(self.view.current_view.media, self.view.current_view.layout) gtk.main_quit() </code></pre> <p>I think I understand what's happening now. This is inside the destroy signal, so by the time the code gets called, the window is already gone. Is there a more canonical way of handling window resizing? I was hoping to avoid handling resize events everytime the user resized the window.</p>

Querying!
