I'm glad someone is thinking about this.  I've been working with
dynamically changing the table widget and had noticed an annoying
behavior where, when a widget is removed from a table in which
row_spacings or col_spacings != 0, the extra spacing is left at the
right edge or bottom edge of the removed widget.  (This is even true
when a column of rightmost widgets or a row of bottommost widgets is
removed from the table).  Is there a *nice* way to get rid of this
extra spacing, or am I best off using gtk_table_set_row_spacing(n, 0)?
