I don't have answers to your problems but have you tried GtkInfoBar? link-->http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkInfoBar.html I think it is widget similar to the one you're trying to make. > Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:31:03 -0400 > From: noel ambrose gmail com > To: gtk-list gnome org > Subject: Notification Widget > > Hello, > > I'm trying to put together a user notification widget.
