Gtk[HV]Box sets only the property in init. So it should be possible to change the orientation.

In the set_property function of GtkBox a resize is queued when you set the orientation which means that you can flip the orientation at runtime. I guess it is also possible in Gtk[HV]Box because it inherits the property.

In my animation demo my GtkAnimBox inherits from GtkBox and flipping is done only by setting the orientation property.

I hope this helps, have a nice Sunday!
