[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] GUI Designer for GTK? / Resizing widgets in table

[Avery W. <rub...@an...>]

Hello-
First, I would like to ask if there is a GUI Designer for GTK that works
with Ruby. I DO NOT MEAN GLADE. I hate Glade. I do NOT want to use some
annoying xml files, even if they are 'easier'. I would need a NORMAL GUI
Designer, as in something that gives me the RAW RUBY code for the GUI as
output.

Question 2:
So, I have a table widget.(Because of course, GTK has this
useless/insane/awful 'container' format, which means that it hates
something called SPACE, and forces you to put everything into
tables/boxes)

Inside a part of the table(table.attach) I have a toolbar. On the
toolbar, I have a button.

Of course, GTK HATES SPACE. So, of course, the toolbar takes up as much
space as possible until it bumps into other widgets.

Then, the button takes up as much space as possible on the toolbar.

So then, I use this:
button.set_size_request(x, y)

Now. The x value ACTUALLY RESIZES THE WIDGET's WIDTH! Hurray!

However, the y value does not resize the button's height! It STILL
stretches ALL the way down the toolbar until the toolbar and the button
smash into other widgets.

How would I resize the button height? What about the toolbar's?

Basically, I want to go against everything GTK tries to do and actually
CREATE SOME SPACE inbetween the toolbar/button cell(By making this a
NORMAL SIZED toolbar, instead of half the freaking window).

How would I do this? How would I resize any part of the table or
widget??
