And here's what Acrobat Reader 8 makes out of this:
not what I would call pretty, but they definitely avoided
the pop-up-from-hell syndrome. I think evince needs some
sort of scrolled thingy here. I tried putting the GtkTable into a
GtkScrolledWindow, but that doesn't work since the GtkTable
isn't a scrollable widget. So I tried a GtkScrolledWindow
containing a viewport  containing the GtkTable. But the viewport
would have to be explicitly sized...  What about a GtkTextView
(inside a scrolled window) instead of the Table: each property/value
would be a text paragraph and the paragraphs would have
"hanging indentation"; you'd probably need one tab stop
(the same width as the indentation), too.

Cheers, Roderich
