Create a glade file with vbox with three rows, and set the "Pack Type"
property under "Packing" page.

|-------------------------|
|    header               |  <----- Pack Type: start
|------------------------ |
| horizontal box 1  |
|------------------------ |
| horizontal box 2  |
|        .                |
|        .                |
|        .                |
|        .                |
|------------------------ |
| footer of window        | <------ Pack Type: End
|-------------------------|

The rest can be added using gtk_box_pack_start .
