mmm... fun
Try something like this. I may be wrong though

vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 0);

hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), hbox, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), username_label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), username_entry, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), password_label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), password_entry, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), hbox, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), clist1, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), clist2, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), hbox, FALSE, FALSE, 0);

gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), status_line, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
