Re: GSTable doesn't handle frame changes

[Nicola Pero]

Thanks.

Sorry for answering late - I had been thinking about this a while (some
days I was more inclined to say you should really use an intermediate view
for what you needed, other days I was more inclined to think I should
modify GSTable to use an intermediate view automatically; finally I
decided the simpler the better, and that even an intermediate view was too
complex, so I did what I did - which is basically a rewrite of your patch
:-) ).

I changed GSTable so that now setFrame: and setFrameSize: should cause
autorelayout of the managed views to be done.  I did that basically
without any change in code ... by just moving the existing code in a
private method, and calling it from setFrame: and setFrameSize:.
