Hehe.. silly me :-). That was not the problem :-).

The problem was that I've used
        time_t now=time(NULL);
        gtk_label_set_text(GTK_LABEL(data),ctime(&now));

but, ctime return nicely formated string, and this string already
contains '\n', so my label was twice large as required.

However, thanks all who replied..
