I thought of that, but why? Maybe you can give me a quick example of
how to attach widgets to a gtk_table correctly (hopfully this will be the fault)?
If I have a table = gtk_table_new(4, 2, TRUE)

I could attach a label in the first cell (from left upper to right lower) with

gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(table), label,
                                                   0, 1, 0, 1);

And a second one in the second cell (same row) with 

gtk_table_attach_defaults(GTK_TABLE(table), label_2,
                                                  1, 2, 0, 1);

Is that right? 
The sheme would look like the following:
      
        ------------------------------------- >>0 
        |               |               |               |
        |               |               |               | 
        ------------------------------------->>1
        |               |               |               |
        |               |               |               |
        ------------------------------------->>2
        ^             ^              ^              ^
        0             1              2              3

So the first (left upper) cell would be attachable by

0, 1, 0, 1

and the last one (right lower) by
2, 3, 1, 2

Hope, I got it right, because I'm working with this kind of 
sheme.
