[Gtk-sharp-list] Placing controls and sizing them

[Mariano Benedettini]

Please check the widget packing theory in the Gtk+ tutorial:

http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/c374.html

Most of the gtk# functions are wrappers of the c functions that belongs 
to gtk+, so the tutorial will give you a very good idea of how does this 
stuff works.
