Configure events are only set to toplevel widgets - the
configure event is used to inform the application that
the size of a window has been changed by the window
manager.

Generally, for subwidgets, the thing you are interested
is the "size_allocate" signal, which says that GTK+
has allocated a new size for the widget.
