Need some Gtk help

[Robert Fewell]

Phil,

I was thinking that you would sync the size of the tree views by call back,
the right one would be a set size any way so that should not change and
thinking about it you may just have to size the left one as the middle
should expand / fill the remaining space.

I must admit I tend to get the pieces in the right place and then look at
the expand and fill options to get the required visual appearance,
sometimes by trial and error.

Regards,

    Robert
