A text widget that has space-expand and space-fill set to true can be used as a spacer to push neighbouring widgets in certain directions.

Here the spacer text is "[]" so you can see it -- drag the window out and watch the button.
	
#!/bin/sh

GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog

Spacer="[]"

MAIN_DIALOG='
<window title="Spacer Test" window-position="1">
   <vbox>
      <hbox>
         <button space-expand="false" space-fill="false">
            <label>This button will stay put</label>
            <input file stock="gtk-about"></input>
         </button>
         <text space-expand="true" space-fill="true">
            <label>"'$Spacer'"</label>
         </text>
      </hbox>
   </vbox>
</window>
'
export MAIN_DIALOG

case $1 in
   -d | --dump) echo "$MAIN_DIALOG" ;;
   *) $GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG ;;
esac

== Signals ==

There is no default signal for this widget.

The "file-changed" signal is emitted if file-monitor is true and the input file being monitored has changed.

The following signals are connected-up for all widgets:

<wiki:comment>ExportTableEnd</wiki:comment>

true means "true", "yes" or a non-zero value, false means "false", "no" or zero, therefore the shell command is expected to echo one of these values to stdout.

== Notes ==

1. This widget does not accept setting a default page before being shown (there's a note about it [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/Gt ... rrent-page here]) which will result in input data being discarded at start-up. This issue can be overcome by using the "[http://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/Gt ... book--page page]" tag attribute which will be applied after the widget is shown.

Looking at the info on the notebook widget it says that it supports
space-expand and space-fill but I'm not sure what part of notebook
widget is affected.

Override JWM-settings - skip taskbar, sticky, layer, border
This is how to override default settings in your JWM configuration.

Your gtkdialog gui must be called with the --class parameter
Code:
gtkdialog --class=APPLET -f myfile
Then this code must be in your jwm configuration file - $HOME/.jwmrc (to be set permanently, it must be added to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc)
Code:
<Group>
<Class>APPLET</Class>
<Option>nolist</Option>
<Option>sticky</Option>
<Option>noborder</Option>
<Option>layer:12</Option>
</Group>

i.e. if the file 'destination' exists but somehow the folder has disappeared

I should have a default folder to open when first launching.
