 I should comment something about this patch.  A table looks like this
 in Glade 2:

    <widget class="GtkTable" id="table1">
      [...]

      <child>
        <widget class="GtkScrolledWindow" id="scrolledwindow1">
          [...]
        </widget>
        <packing>
          [...]
          <property name="x_options">fill</property>
        </packing>
      </child>

      <child>
        <widget class="GtkScrolledWindow" id="scrolledwindow2">
          [...]
        </widget>
        <packing>
          [...]
          <property name="x_options">fill</property>
          <property name="y_options"></property>
        </packing>
      </child>
    </widget>

 that is, [xy]_options may or may not be there.  If it's there, it might
 be empty.  "Not there" means "default" (I guess).  "Empty" means
 everything is is false.  In the case of tables you can set "shrink" via
 the widget's properties dialog so "empty" would be
 "expand|fill|shrink".  I doubt this is correct.  Looking at the GTK 2
 code I can't really say what that would do.  Playing with a table with
 different options here I can't see any difference between "expand|fill"
 and "expand|fill|shrink".

 Something related to this has been discussed recently on the gtkmm
 mailing list.  Concensus is that !(expand|fill) == shrink and that
 "fill" alone doesn't make sense.  This isn't entirely true.  Think of a
 table where (1,0) has "expand" in x and (1,1) has "fill" in x.  The
 first one will expand the size of the column and the second one will
 fill the extra space.

 If you take a look at the patch you'll notice a horrible
 "AttachOptions()" in there.  That's because gtkmm2 doesn't let me use
 "0".  I *guess* this should be "shrink", but I'm not 100% sure.
