I know what a grid bag layout is, but I never understood how to use it
properly. I knew Gtk-Perl before I touched Java Swing so my expectations
about how to arrange widgets were pre-defined.

In a Gtk2::Table widgets are arranged into cells by attaching them into
a grid by using left, right, top and bottom boundaries.

Example:

  0          1          2
0 +----------+----------+
  | widget 1 | widget 2 |
1 +----------+----------+
  | widget 3 | widget 4 |
2 +----------+----------+


widget 1: left: 0, right: 1, top: 0, bottom: 1
widget 2: left: 1, right: 2, top: 0, bottom: 1
widget 3: left: 0, right: 1, top: 1, bottom: 2
widget 4: left: 1, right: 2, top: 1, bottom: 2


HTH,

Jens
