[pygtk] Place a widget in a window at desired position

[Xi Chen]

Hi Felix,

Thanks for information. You're absolutely right. It's not an advisable way
to meet my goal although it works for me. But it indeed results in some
confusing problems, I therefore had to refer to traditional packing
containers and after a tough struggle with documentation and tutorials I
managed to do it.

Thanks again!

Hi,

It is absolutely not recommended - read:

     http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkfixed.html

Also see

     http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtklayout.html

for another way.

bye,
Felix
