For example, i would simply like to have inside a window a table with 
two rows: then i add to the first row a widget whose request size is 
(50, 100),
and to the second row another widget with request size equals to (50, 
200). If I resize the window, the two widgets must keep their relative 
dimensions, i.e.
on the vertical axis, 33% for the first widget,  66% for the second widget.
