In addition, box does not look like something logically stacked from the bottom. So unlike the statusbar which should be packed with gtk_box_pack_end(), box should not be packed with gtk_box_pack_end(). If you pack box with gtk_box_pack_start(), then the order in which you add the widgets does not matter at all. One is packed from top, the other from bottom so they always end up in the desired positions. That's incidentally what your original code does, except it does it *upside down*. Why you attempt to pack the statusbar that belong to the bottom with gtk_box_pack_start() and the box that is stacked from the top with gtk_box_pack_end()?
