I'm a liar :-/ Please excuse me for the previous posting.
What I have actually done for getting the right behaviour (to center my
fixed widget in a cell of a box, but not expand it), was by using:

gtk_alignment_new( .5, .5, 0, 0)

It is consistent with the tutorial, but I think the tutorial should
explain these parameters better (eventually with some images, like those
that explains the packaging of boxes). By the way, the tutorial itself
would be much more usefull if it would have more screenshots.
