/* Size Groups
 *
 * GtkSizeGroup provides a mechanism for grouping a number of
 * widgets together so they all request the same amount of space.
 * This is typically useful when you want a column of widgets to 
 * have the same size, but you can't use a GtkTable widget.
 * 
 * Note that size groups only affect the amount of space requested,
 * not the size that the widgets finally receive. If you want the
 * widgets in a GtkSizeGroup to actually be the same size, you need
 * to pack them in such a way that they get the size they request
 * and not more. For example, if you are packing your widgets
 * into a table, you would not include the GTK_FILL flag.
