I tryed it, and it seems to not be true. Indeed, if the window is at the 
minimu size (i.e. at the sum of all
the request size of children), the relative dimension is exactly 33% and 
66% on the Y. But if i resize it (making it taller),
the table adds equally horiz. lines to both the cells, and not by adding 
lines by the cells' relative size. So as long as i enlarge it, the cells
will have equal size. You could try it in Glade too.

I agree, but still i cant get rid of the above problem.
