Oh, good to know. Well, in fact, my situation is this: I want to
visually create something like this:

 A:    _____
   AA: _____
   AB: _____
   AC: _____

So right-align would be useful. But I could also use left-align
if I changed color or font to somehow make it obvious that AA, AB
and AC are subelements of A.

Yes, it's a different function for widget and window, but both would be
very useful. Here:

  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-size-request
  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-default-size

I think in inserts you never explicitly name fields, right? You just say
insert into TABLE values (v1,v2,v3...)? In that case nothing has to be
done for inserts.

Thanks!
