Re: GUI construction tips

It's easy enough to add padding space when packing your label into the
box like so:
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX(box), label, FALSE, FALSE, padding)

I get the impression however that you are using Glade.. I don't use
glade myself but it should be perfectly possible to specify the padding
space somewhere in the widget properties editor.

Hope this helps..
