Children of a GtkFixed will not resize, they will maintain thier coordinates and
sizes as dictacted by the size request, this fixed widget should expand itself
I would think (maybe better to put it into a viewport or swindow but I
dont think
thats nescisarry).

Anyway, GtkFixed is used for fixed coordinates (not fixed ratios), this
will not resize nicely in dynamically resizable interfaces.

You might try using things like GtkAlignment or even GtkAspectFrame if you want
to make fancy resizable layouts
