[pygtk] VPaned/HPaned resizing

[John Pye]

Hi all,

I have some windows with VPaned and HPaned widgets in them. These 
windows are each divided into two panes and have one slider. When I 
resize those windows, the *first* pane always stays the same size (the 
one at the top or the left) whereas the *second* pane is the one that 
shrinks and expands.

Is there a way I can set up my panes so that the first one is the one 
that shrinks and expands by default? I don't want the second pane to be 
a fixed size: the used should still be able to adjust the panes. It's 
just that by default the stuff in the second pane is less likely to need 
resizing, so it should be the first one that grows with the window.

eg
+--------+
|     |  |
| a b $  |
|     |  |
+--------+

should become

+-------------+
|          |  |
|  a b c   |  |
|          $  |
|  d e f   |  |
|          |  |
+-------------+

when I resise.

Any suggestions would be great.

Cheers
JP
