I also split the table into two part by using a vbox. Look in the widget
tree dialog the glade has (under the View menu). You can see that the
tree is a bit different from yours. If you put all in a table then the
longest row will decides the size of all the other rows. Here it looked
natural to have a :

Vbox-|
   Vbox -|
         |- Table
         |- Notepad

instead of:

Vbox-|
     |- Table -|
               |- Rows
               |- Notepad

You see?

Another thing

if you have a lot of different widets that should be grouped together,
then add a Vbox or HBox or Frame etc.. in the bottom as it is much
easier to move the whole box/frame around that to have to move each
widget.
