How to put a widget into any column inside a grid?

I'm writing by hand an application that use Gtk+. I'm using a GtkGrid to hold my GtkWidgets, but I can't put a GtkWidget into specific colum, as the second parameter of gtk_grid_attach() function says. E.g, the last element was placed into the 4-column, if I try to put into the 6-column it does not works; the GtkWidget is auto placed by the gtk into the 5-column.

You can't just "skip" a column, this has no meaning. An empty column is just 0 pixels wide. You need to put something there, either in the same row, or in another, if you want it to have a width > 0. You can just put a GtkFixed widget there if you want, but if this is just to separate 2 widgets, you may want to use the row-spacing and/or column-spacing properties instead. The official GTK documentation gives some advice about how GtkGrid works.

If all you want is to have some blank space between the widgets, you should be able to achieve that with someting simpler. Like a plain GtkBox, and using the padding support when adding the widgets.
