Description of problem: several zenity modes don't respect --width and --height. The problem is pretty simple, in /usr/share/zenity/zenity.glade, the widgets/windows for the modes have resizable=False, when it should be True, such that the C-code changing the size actually has an effect. For example- <widget class="GtkDialog" id="zenity_question_dialog"> <property name="border_width">5</property> <property name="title" translatable="yes">Question</property> <property name="type">GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL</property> <property name="window_position">GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER</property> <property name="modal">False</property> <property name="resizable">False</property> ^^^^^ If you change that to True, then "zenity --question --width=640 --height=480" will work as it should. There a few others with the same bug, just search for resizable in the .glade file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
