I like the basic look.  I just concur with several others that the details
could use a bit of tweaking.

For example, I am just learning GTK at this point, but one of the Hello, World
apps in the tutorial (if you add the "quit" button), displays the text "Quit"
slightly off-center.  Little things like this can make or break you in terms
of how professional your app looks.
