Hello.

First of all, cross-posting is bad and tends to annoy people. Stick to
your original post.

GtkAttachOptions is enumeration of bitfield flags. These flags can be
added together using bitwise or. And as David already said, you
probably missed GTK_FILL flag in your gtk_table_attach() call.

For example, this call:

gtk_table_attach( table, child, 0, 1, 0, 1,
                  GTK_FILL | GTK_EXPAND, GTK_EXPAND, 0, 0 );

will cause widget to expand horizontally when table is resized.
Vertically, widget will stay of the same size, only distance to other
widgets will increase.
