Unfortunatley that doesn't really help.
With gtk_widget_set_usize you can determine the minimum size to which you
can resize. But the vbox with buttons still grows as I resize the window.

What I need actually is a scrollable vbox with buttons, and next to it a
text widget. Now, what happens is that the available width is equally
distributed between the vbox and the text widget.
If I use gtk_widget_set_usize for both vbox and text the distribution of
width between the 2 can be changed. So, with the right width for both
widgets I can get more or less what I want:

gtk_widget_set_usize(vbox_widget,0,0);                      /* minimum width
such that wuttons just fit */
gtk_widget_set_usize(text_widget->parent,100,0); /* text widget much wider
*/

Until I resize the window to a bigger width; then, both text and vbox are
resized.

So, the question still stands: How to realize a vertical scrollable vbox
with always minimum width?
