There is no problem in changing it from FILLER to PANEL if that's the
right thing to do. But what happens in a "normal" gtk message dialog ?

If I cook up a super simple one in glade and use glade-previewer -f
simplemessage.ui and use the python code in the original code I get
6. [filler] for the GtkButtonBox that contains the buttons. 

In general where I'm hoping to get to is that LibreOffice reports the
same sort of hierarchy and types for a .ui that gtk would if it was
rendering it. I *think* gtk defaults to PANEL for containers but FILLER
for GtkBox, which is where those defaults in layout.cxx come from.
