You can embed two GTK+ panes inside a third to get this functionality, 
but users will be able to size the panes differently along one dimension 
(which may or may not be a Bad Thing) ... I don't recall the address, 
but someone out there had a custom four-way pane that did this.  You 
might try looking through the archives.
