I think your best bet might be to use a GtkHBox.  If you pack the buttons in,
they are sized to fit their individual contents as opposed to all being made
the same size.

I for one feel that having all the buttons the same size looks nicer -- I
don't get distracted with the visual changes produced by different size
buttons.  This is of course a personal opinion.
