I normally let the entry expand and also let it fill the width of the cell,
by using GTK_EXPAND | GTK_FILL as the xoptions when calling
gtk_table_attach().

If you really want it a fixed size and left-aligned, one possibility would be
to add a hbox to the table, and add your entry and an empty label to the hbox.
Set the expand and fill arguments to FALSE when adding the entry to the hbox,
and TRUE when adding the label, so the label will expand to take up any extra
space.
