    <remarks>
      <para>Other ways of laying out widgets include using a horizontal box, (see <see cref="T:Gtk.HBox" />), a table, (see <see cref="T:Gtk.Table" />), button boxes, etc.</para>
      <para>
    	Useful methods for manipulating boxes can be found in the superclass for HBox, <see cref="T:Gtk.Box" />.
