gtk_box_pack_start() and .._end() functions

["Ted Milker" <dodger lnk ispi net>]

Hi, I've just begun working with GTK+ and I don't think I understand the
naming conventions of the two functions above.  I'm just trying to add
multiple buttons in a vertical column to a packing box.  Why is it that
gtk_box_pack_start adds each button below the previous one, while
gtk_box_pack_end adds each button on top of the previous one.  If you ask
me, the naming of these functions implies the opposite actions.  I'm sure
I'm just missing something obvious here.  I'm working with gtk 1.2
