Yes, I didn't quite manage to get widgets in GtkFixed containers working
correctly.

You'll have to use the X & Y properties on the Packing properties page,
and the Width & Height properties on the Common page to move/resize it.

But you should really avoid using GtkFixed if at all possible. Using
boxes and tables is the normal way to do layout.
