The VPaned widget has some fairly intricate heuristics to try to fill
it's entire height by stretching one or more of the panes, since it
wasn't originally planned that there be empty space allowed below
the bottom pane.  There's every chance of an odd interaction between
these heuristics and your constraint specifications.

If you send me a short test case, perhaps I'll look into it and see
if the situation can be improved without breaking old code.  I like
the structure you're attempting to build, and I have a couple of
proposals for compatible extentions to the constraint specifications.
