The biggest problem is that if their contents need the space, they will
try and take it; expand & fill are only for empty space. I've just
played around some with that and now the buttons end up centered
horizontally (though not vertically, strangely). Hmm...

Has anyone looked at the widget the GIMPs toolbox uses? That can
automatically create an appropriate number of columns/rows, it could be
useful for when the screen is rotated etc.
