Re: clarification on GtkAlignment

[Stefan Kost <kost imn htwk-leipzig de>]

In the GNOME HIG they really suggest to use a label containg spaces for padding
(I don't like that as well).
That means you should put each button in a hbox(2) and put the padding label
into the first slot of the hbox and your button into the second one.
