    <p>Setup:</p> <ul> <li>OS: Ubuntu Precise (12.04) amd64</li> <li>Python: 2.7.3</li> <li>GTK: 2.24.0</li> <li>WindowManager: metacity and FVWM2 both exhibit the same behavior</li> </ul> <p>I have a small pygtk app that contains (among other widgets) a treeview. The window has resizable=False so as the treeview is expanded/collapsed, the window automatically resizes to fit the content. This all works just fine.</p> <p>The problem is that when the window resizes, it stays centered on where it was. I want the top-left corner of the window to stay in the same spot when the window resizes.</p> <p>I've found that calling parse_geometry() with a +x+y position will induce the desired behavior. But that's not always an option. In the typical case, I want the window to open where the mouse is, not in a fixed location.</p> <p>I suspect I need to set gtk.gdk.HINT_USER_POS, but as best I can tell, pygtk's version of set_geometry_hints() doesn't allow me to pass GdkWindowHints like the C and Perl interfaces do.</p> <p>How can I make the window's top-left corner stay still as the contents cause the window to change size?</p> <p><b>Update:</b></p> <p>Since parse_geometry() sets the bit for me, just before gtk.main(), I call</p> <pre><code>gobject.timeout_add(500, self.fix_window) </code></pre> <p>The callback is:</p> <pre><code>def fix_window(self): self.window.parse_geometry("+%d+%d" % self.window.get_position()) </code></pre> <p>While this works, it's ugly so I'd still appreciate a better alternative.</p>

    1. COResizing a window normally should leave the top left corner in place. How do you resize?

    3. COI think you need to set window gravity to northwest. This is the default but maybe you have set it to center somewhere?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
