So, you mean there's absolutely no way to attache a widget relative to
other ones??

Ufff, these are very bad news for me... I was trying to rewrite a Motif
program not touching the head files... 
If a use the table approximation I will have to pass the position in the
table instead of the widgets it has around... something like this:

void Class::Attache( Widget top, Widget left, Widget bottom, Widget
right) <--- Motif
void Class::Attache( gint top, gint left, gint bottom, gint right)   <--
GTK+

This would not be possible to adjust with a #define

No other way to make it?? :((((
