Re: how shrink entire GUI?

[Gavin Jefferies <gj262 yahoo com>]

Hi Christian, There may be another more GTK correct way to do this. I
just hacked arround until I found what worked for me. The reason I use
(and like) the rc file aproach is that I have different needs for
different machine displays and this fits. I've never looked at the
graphics context code but it might be what you are looking for.
