Could you describe your interface more precise? I made out that you want 
to get something like:
.--------------.  -.
| hBox         |   |
|--------------|   |
| hBox         |   |
|--------------|    > vBox
| Button       |   |
|--------------|   |
| TextView     |   |
`--------------'  -'
and make first hBox have fixed height. If so, try

gtk_box_pack_start (vBox, hBox, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

That FALSE values cause the child not to expand and not to fill extra space.
