This is an excellent description of the gtk+ widget geometry model.
Although it isn't at all pygtk specific, I think you should try to
find a place in your pygtk FAQ to immortalize it since it is a very
common question.  Although the gtk+ constraint based widget geometry
is more complex than MS-style fixed layouts, it's infinitely superior
because gtk+ windows actually resize properly.
