Yes, I've seen it.  I believe it's related to the  
fixed-height-mode in GtkTreeView, which may not be used by any  
other app!

It can be fixed by scrolling to the last message that's supposed  
to be showing, but the tricky part is figuring out just when it's  
needed--nobody wants to be scrolled to the last message  
unnecessarily!
