[Inkscape-devel] Expand a Widget Gtk2 and Gtk3

Hey guys,

I've been struggling with getting my designed UI into code and I need some help.

I have a Gtk::Toolbar with a few buttons a space widget and then a few more buttons. The goal is to set h_expand on the space widget in Gtk2 and push the two sets of buttons to either side. The code for Gtk3 is fairly strait forward but C++ isn't letting me call child_set_property and set_expand doesn't do anything; so I'm stuck.

Code: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5655252/

P.S. I'm used to using glade, do we not use it because it's a bad dep or because inkscape was made before glade existed?

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
