width  = widget->allocation.width;
height = widget->allocation.height;

These functions should give you the size of any widget,
I think, as long as (I suppose this is right but you
need to check, I might be wrong):

- the widget has an X-window (labels have no X window);
- the widget is realized;

In practise, you could consider inserting say, an event box 
inside the table cell, and the label inside the event box, 
show everything and after the table is actually visible,
determine the size of the event box, put the string in the 
label after, then apply widget_set_usize on the event 
box itself and finally redraw everything. I did not test
this, but if it works it will work so quickly that the
user will never see the initial blank label.

You might find better solutions though.
