I'm writing a desktop application using the Go bindings for GTK at 
https://mattn.github.io/go-gtk/.

I'm showing a set of widgets in a listing "view". I'd like to make it 
responsive - kind of like using the "float" property in CSS.

So far I've looked at VBox, HBox, Table, and the Fixed Layout and Layout 
Container, but none of these really solve my problem - they all scale in 
one direction.

I’m interested in suggestions either within go-gtk, C GTK that would be 
possible to bind, a Go library that would do this for me, or if none of 
those exist, then ideas/best practices for rolling my own.

The result would be a container that "moves" widgets around depending on 
the screen dimensions. I left some ascii-art below of how I'd like it to 
look.

Thanks in advance!
