I depicted the structure of the widgets here:

in my opinin you have at least a couple of HBox/Vbox in excess.
 1. hbox2 is a child oh hbox with no addition benefit
 2. vboxsw has no reason as ScrolledWindow is a container itself

anyhow the problem you have depends on the fact that you start with a little
window and the space is eaten up by the DrawingArea in wich you setup a
minimum geometry of 200x200 *and* expand & fill. Depending on tha layout you
prefere you may want to change the initial dimentions or the expand parameter.

"width-request" is a property defined for any gtk.Widget. (I never
understood why '_' and '-' change in glade ;-)
