<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->GtkFixed<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->A container which allows you to position widgets at fixed coordinates<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### --><para>The #GtkFixed widget is a container which can place child widgets at fixedpositions and with fixed sizes, given in pixels. #GtkFixed performs noautomatic layout management.</para><para>For most applications, you should not use this container! It keepsyou from having to learn about the other GTK+ containers, but itresults in broken applications.With #GtkFixed, the following things will result in truncated text, overlapping widgets, and other display bugs:<itemizedlist><listitem><para>Themes, which may change widget sizes.</para></listitem><listitem><para>Fonts other than the one you used to write the app will ofcourse change the size of widgets containing text; keep in mind thatusers may use a larger font because of difficulty reading the default,or they may be using Windows or the framebuffer port of GTK+, wheredifferent fonts are available.</para></listitem><listitem><para>Translation of text into other languages changes its size. Also,display of non-English text will use a different font in many cases.</para></listitem></itemizedlist></para><para>In addition, the fixed widget can't properly be mirrored inright-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. i.e. normally GTK+will flip the interface to put labels to the right of the thing theylabel, but it can't do that with #GtkFixed. So your application will not be usable in right-to-left languages.</para><para>Finally, fixed positioning makes it kind of annoying to add/remove GUIelements, since you have to reposition all the other elements. This isa long-term maintenance problem for your application.</para><para>If you know none of these things are an issue for your application,and prefer the simplicity of #GtkFixed, by all means use thewidget. But you should be aware of the tradeoffs.</para><!-- ##### SECTION See_Also ##### --><para></para><!-- ##### SECTION Stability_Level ##### --><!-- ##### STRUCT GtkFixed ##### --><para>The #GtkFixed-struct struct contains the following fields.(These fields should be considered read-only.
