[pygtk] dialog minimize/maximize icons/buttons missing

[Laurent Luce]

I agree with you Simon that we shouldn't resize dialogs.

The issue I have is that I didn't find a way to insert the scroll window object inside a window object. If I replace the dialog object by a window object and call vbox.pack_start() function then it throws an error. What would be the solution to display a scrolled window which I could minimize/maximize etc...

Usually, we don't need to resize or hide dialogs imho. But if you really
want to, you can set the "resizable" property to True and the buttons
you were looking for will notably appear:

self.dialog.set_resizable(True)
