Hi Kjell,
adding an Alignment places the label just below the ToolPalette but this is
what happen:
When available space is minimum, the VBox gives a vertical space to the
ToolPalette equal than the space needed to show all the ToolItemGroups.
Immediately after the ToolPalette here comes the other widget.
But if I give more space (enlarging the window) VBox divides it between the
ToolPalette and the other widget enlarging the space in favor of the other
widget and not giving to the ToolPalette all the needed space (when it is fully
expanded)
You can test it with the source code
here:http://ubuntuone.com/2UCP30FDMF32dP7a8INh1I
and modifying the lines with this code:
Gtk::Alignment *my_alignment=Gtk::manage(new Gtk::Alignment(0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0));
Gtk::Label *my_label=Gtk::manage(new Gtk::Label("Label"));
m_VBox.pack_start(m_ToolPalette, Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);
m_VBox.pack_start(*my_alignment, Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);
my_alignment->add(*my_label);
This is visually what I get:
1) When ToolPallete is collapsed I have this:

2) If I expand one of the ToolItemGroups I have this:

3) If I enlarge the window I get this:

4) When I really want this:

Thanks!

Hi Carlos,
Have you tried using Gtk::Alignment? Perhaps something like this:
// Constructor: xalign=0.5, yalign=0.0, xscale=0.0, yscale=0.0
my_alignment(0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
my_vbox.pack_start(my_label, Gtk::PACK_SHRINK);
my_vbox.pack_start(my_toolpalette, Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);
my_vbox.pack_start(my_alignment, Gtk::PACK_EXPAND_WIDGET);
my_alignment.add(my_checkbox);
I don't know if the result will be exactly what you want. (I don't use
Gimp, and your reference to it is not very informative to me.) But
Gtk::Alignment gives you many possibilities.
