I don't look to answer you with a direct response, but yet, I want to
let you know about glade.  You can put your widgets easily in a window
and play with the positioning and so on.

One way would be to add items a,b,c inside one vbox that is put as
first element of the main vbox, and which is also set to expand/fill.
The latter rows, for items x,y,z, would be put at the bottom.
