You should probably update your GTK+. There have been _many_ changes
from the RH 5.0 version.

Um...I know that gtk_set_widget_usize works if you have the widget
packed inside h or vboxes. Have you tried attaching the scrollbar to the
table with GTK_EXPAND | GTK_FILL? I'm looking at your gif right now and
I assume the entry widget you're talking about is the one on the right
side.

Really, check out the tutorial, as it gives _excellent_ examples of how
hboxes and vboxes work. Feel free to email with any more questions.
