Re: How to center vbox inside full screen window

["Dov Grobgeld" <dov grobgeld gmail com>]

Both GtkImage and GtkLabel are subclasses of GtkMisc, which means that you
can set their alignments through the GtkMisc methods. Thus after after
packing them together, set the yalignment of the image to 1.0 and the
yalignment of the label to 0.0 (default for both are 0.5) and you should be
ok.

Search for GtkMisc in the GtkLabel and GtkImage documentations.

Another option is to create another non-filled GtkVBox into which you place
the image and the label, and then place this vbox in your outer filled vbox.

Hope this helps,
Dov
