No, not that I can think of. It might be a nice container type to have
though, shouldn't be especially hard to write. (GtkPercentBox?) Looks to
me like most of the GtkBox/GtkHBox widget code is fooling with
expand/fill, homegeneity, blah blah that wouldn't be an issue with
GtkPercentBox/GtkHPercentBox/GtkVPercentBox, it's probably a real quick
widget to write, mostly typing work. Could even be worth folding into Gtk.
