It is now much clearer to me now what "homogeneous", "expand" and "fill" mean.
I understand the logic of it all and why my logic did not conform to it. 

I still think the doc is misleading. Especially the GTK3 doc, where the
difference between expand and fill is unclear (to me) :
http://readthedocs.org/docs/python-gtk-3-tutorial/en/latest/layout.html#boxes

Thank you both for taking the time to answer.
