If a table widget was allocated _less_ space than it requested. (For
instance, because the user has resized the window to a smaller size),
then the deficit is equally divided among all rows (columns) where all
the child widgets are specified as GTK_SHRINK.
A practical instance is with a GtkPaned widget, where one of the
halves of the paned widget is a table of a text area and scrollbars

If the user shrinks the bottom half of the paned widget. (By dragging
on the *), A and B should shrink vertically, but not C. So GTK_SHRINK
needs to be specified for A and B. (If GTK_SHRINK is specifed for nothing,
the table just gets pushed of the bottom of the window)

Owen
