 Look if it solve your problem:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int main( int   argc, char *argv[] ){

        GtkWidget *window;
        GtkWidget *label;
        GtkWidget *hbox;
        GtkWidget *records;


        gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

        window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
        gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (window), "thingy");
        gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 20);

        hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5);
        gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), hbox);

        label = gtk_label_new("Records");
        gtk_label_set_justify(GTK_LABEL(label), GTK_JUSTIFY_RIGHT);
        gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
        gtk_widget_show (label);
        records  = gtk_entry_new();
        gtk_entry_set_editable(GTK_ENTRY(records), FALSE);
        gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), records, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
        gtk_widget_show (records);

        gtk_widget_show (hbox);
        gtk_widget_show (window);


        gtk_main ();
        return 0;
}

 I used an horizontal box. I think that the problem with your code,
its the size of the table, because its to large to put it on main
window, which have an small size.

 You can learning more reading the GTK+ tutorial (before read the
Havoc book). You can found it in: http://www.gtk.org.

 Sorry for my bad english, i hope that you understand.
