OK you would probably use a hbox, so create it with
  myhbox = gtk_hbox_net(FALSE, 0);
The FALSE here says that the buttons can be different sizes.

Then create the button or whatever, you can adjust the size of it with
 gtk_widget_set_usize(widget, xsize, ysize);

When you put it in the hbox, set the expand value to FALSE, ie
gtkbox_pack_start(GTK_BOX(myhbox), mybutton, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

The first FALSE says adjust the hbox to fit the buttons, not the buttons to
fit the hbox. This will mean you will have a space on the right hand side of 
the hbox.
