A VBox or A HBox will always expand the Widget in the direction opposite 
of the on it's managing, if it expands the Widget in that direction 
depends on the options passed to packStart. So get the size request to 
work with those containers you'll have to wrap a HBox in a VBoc or visa 
versa.

A more convenient container would be the ButtonBox which doesn't expand 
the Button in the direction it's not managing. And thus properly handles 
the size request.

A Grid or Table might also apply depending on the complete layout.
