[Glade-users] Horizontal and Vertical box

[fmouse-n11tfz@fmp.com]

Designing a UI with glade requires some experimentation with containers, and
with the borders and padding of widgets contained within them.  Containers
are subdivided equally at first, but aren't locked into equal division, and
will resize relative to each other as the properties of the widgets inside
them are changed.  You'll also find that the UI of the running program may
not look quite the same as the mock-up in glade.

IMHO, designing a UI in glade has more in common with designing a web page
using tables than it does with the dragon-drop UI design tools for other
operating systems.  It's not immediately intuitive, but once you get the
hang of it, you can make it do pretty much what you want.
