apt-file is a useful tool for finding what package contains a file.
An alternative is the Ubuntu web site.

$ apt-file search gtkvbox.h
libgtk1.2-dev: /usr/include/gtk-1.2/gtk/gtkvbox.h
libgtk2.0-dev: /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkvbox.h
python-gtk2-doc: /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/pygtk/class-gtkvbox.html
