but I guess your real question is why there is a difference at all? I don't use glade but I'm guessing it may be automatically setting the sizes and border widths of the widgets you are writing. Try adding $widget_name->$set_size_request( $width, $height ); that is $vbox1->set_size_request(300, 60); remembering that it is just a request and may be ignored.
