Thanks a lot for your comments Havoc :)

I'll make the change for BEGIN->START to be more consistent with other
apis... good point.

SPREAD_EVEN is exactly that.. adding extra space between the children as
spacing, and there is SPREAD_EXPAND for the other (not sure if that
could be better explained).

Regarding your other mail in this thread... I agree the _insert_child()
api has alot of arguments, my original idea was to simply reuse
GtkAttachOptions enum (except I'm not sure exactly what to do with
GTK_SHRINK).

What would we prefer here ? A single AttachOptions type which can
be used amongst many containers or a custom enumeration ?

I'll give a look into that...
