Actually, there sort of is a way. You can get the actual size of the
container widget.
I forgot the name of the function to get the actual size, I think it's
get_allocation, see:
http://www.daa.com.au/pipermail/pygtk/2001-March/001022.html.
But I think I found an easier funciton, but I don't have the code on me.
Once you have the size of the container widget (your hbox or your table or
what-have-you), you can then figure out 2/3 * width and 1/3 * width.
Then call set_size_request() on the child widths with the calculated widths
(2/3 * width, etc)
Then trigger a redraw. I use redraw_children on the container widget, but I
think there are various ways to trigger a redraw, and I redraw_children
seems kind of slow. You could try just invaldating or queue_redraw on the
children widgets your resizing..
If you just want to request 2/3 of the container widgets _requested_ size,
you should be able to calculate that fairly trivially at the time you make
all your requests.

then call parent.

Not that I know of.

I use blank label widgets for spacers.
