it's not about to cover all the packing methods (in the current approach
you need unlimited numbers of differents containers then..)

but, let's try it...
Suppose that I have a special version of Gtk where the containers just
hold the childs, when a resize message comes the container resize itself
and pass the signal to all of the children, every child will decide if
it resize itself or not.
Also my widgets have a Align property (Left, Bottom, Client, None, etc)
and a Anchors property (left, rigth, etc) for resizing purposes inside
the parent.

So shot at me with a layout(*), if I can't resolve your layout i will
give you all the reason and end of discussion.

(*) a reasonable layout, one you can do with the current Gtk.
