I'm an absolute beginner. Played around a little yesterday to get the
hang of a few things, naturally doing "Hello world" and wondering why
you can't apparently supply any padding between a button and its label
when you use button_new_with_label. I tried using
gtk_container_border_width with the button as container, but that puts
the padding outside the button. Wound up writing my own little function
for creating a button/label combination that provides padding by parking
an hbox inside the button and putting the label inside the hbox. I'm
not really bent out of shape about this (did it mostly as an exercise),
but I'm wondering if there's an easy method I've missed, and/or if the
extra widgets I used for my solution are for any reason a bad idea.
