Gtk_Box is handy as you can place many children into it, e.g. labels, 
use alignment etc.

Gtk_Event_Box is special, it filters events and should be used rarely, 
e.g. with a Gtk_Image or Gtk_Label when you want to turn them into a 
fully functional widgets. You just do not need that because normal 
containers already do the work. If you use Gtk_Event_Box you would have 
to handle necessary signals to make everything work as it would with 
Gtk_Box out of the box (no pun intended).
