+        if rect.x + rect.width < self.width - 1 and \
+                rect.y + rect.height < self.height - 1:
+            new_rects.append(gtk.gdk.Rectangle(rect.x + 1, rect.y + 1,

A comment that you are handling diagonals would probably be useful.

         if best_rect:
-            self._move_child(child, best_rect)
+            child.grid_rect = best_rect
+            weight = self._shift_child(child, weight)

I'm not to understand this recursion. Is it supposed to keep shifting
until it finds the best possible place?
