I solved it. For future reference: gtk_table_resize() only makes the 
tble smaller if there are no child widgets in the rows/columns you want 
to remove. I tried iterating over table->children to find all those 
widgets, but I could not get that working. I ended up keeping a GList of 
the widgets that I add to the table and iterate over that list to remove 
widgets prior to the resize. That works.
