You should really give glade-2 a try. It will show you a graphical way to 
lay out your window and the widgets inside it, and then you can ask glade to 
generate code for you c/c++ etc... that way you can get an example of how to 
do things.

However, to help you a bit, you will need to put a frame inside a window and 
then inside that frame, you could put to HBox'es. In the left HBox you could 
put a label "this is the label" and in the right one you can put whatever 
you want. Containers like [H|V]Box and Frame, paned, and others, can contain 
whatever other widgets you want (thus the name "containers"). However, this 
is understood better when using Glade -- at least for the first few times 
you create a GUI.

Hope that helps...
