Another way to keep things looking nice when resizing is to use
a HButtonBox instead of an HBox. This widget (By Stefan Wille,
included with GTK) keeps it's children nicely spaced out instead
of expanding them into odd shapes. The dialog widget should probably
be modified to use this widget...

Hope this helps,
