This patch adds a new container widget to GTK called gtkfixed.  GtkFixed 
allows absolute placement of widgets, and also allows one to move a already
placed widget.  To place a widget in a gtkfixed container use:

gtk_fixed_put (GTK_FIXED (yourfixed), youwidget, x, y);

to move a already placed widget:

gtk_fixed_move (GTK_FIXED (yourfixed), yourwidget, x, y);

Somthing to keep in mind while using GtkFixed is that gtk_widget_set_uposition
does override the positon given by gtk_fixed_put and gtk_fixed_move.  The
disadvantage to gtk_widget_set_uposition is it ignores the container's border
width.
