[Pan-users] Body pane is wrongly resizing pan's top-level window

[walt]

About once a year I get bored enough to try to fix this ancient
bug in pan's behavior and every time I conclude that gtk is a
horrible mess, designed by the devil to torture innocent soft-
ware developers.

Anyway, here's the behavior that I consider to be wrong:

When pan displays an image (typically a jpeg) in the body pane,
if the image is is too large to fit properly then the body pane
somehow manages to enlarge the entire pan window enough so that
it's too big to fit on my monitor screen.

I think, in general, that a child window should never resize a
top-level parent window under any circumstances, so this should
be fixed.  I keep looking at the code but I don't understand it
enough to fix it myself.

Anyone else have any clues?

Thanks.

BTW, note that the body pane already has a scroll-bar to allow
the user to view the entire image, so resizing the top-level
window is completely unnecessary in any case.
