Why are you using GtkHeaderBar ?

From what I understand, the main feature of GtkHeaderBar is to center
the title text in the allocation regardless of the size of any sibling
widgets which are to the left or right.

But you are not displaying a title anyway... so why not just use a
horizontal GtkBox ?
