    <title>Description</title>

    <para>A <link
linkend="class-gtkvbox"><classname>gtk.VBox</classname></link> is a
container subclassed from <link
linkend="class-gtkbox"><classname>gtk.Box</classname></link> that organizes
its child widgets into a single column. The <link
linkend="class-gtkbox"><classname>gtk.Box</classname></link> methods are
used to manage the arrangement, spacing, height, and alignment of the <link
linkend="class-gtkvbox"><classname>gtk.VBox</classname></link> child widgets
though all are allocated the same width.</para>
