Pretty good examples are in tutorial
    http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/sec-packingusingtables.html
    http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/sec-tablepackingexamples.html
    http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/sec-scrolledwindows.html

If you want to try out some different layout quickly, then you can use
my GTK+ extension for Bash shell,
    http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/index.html#gtk

Essentially, you would do 
    gtk << EOF
        <window>
        <table size="2x2">
            <label label="label 1"/>
            <label label="label 2"/>
            <label label="label 3"/>
            <label label="label 4"/>
        <table>
        </window>
    EOF
And, the same for buttons
    gtk << EOF
        <window>
        <table size="2x2">
            <button label="label 1"/>
            <button label="label 2"/>
            <button label="label 3"/>
            <button label="label 4"/>
        <table>
        </window>
    EOF
