Yes, that's what I did.

No, I don't think so.
I want gtk to determine the minimum size for the vbox.
Without  scrolbar that works; with a vertical scrolbar it should also work for
the width, I would say.
I think the problem is that, using 'gtk_scrolled_window_new' both scrollbars are
potentially present, even if the horizontal scrollbar is made 'aways invisible'
with:
gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy (..,GTK_POLICY_NEVER,...)
which would explain why gtk refuses to determine and set the minimum width for
the vbox. (Is this a bug or a feature?)

With using gtk_vscrollbar_new instead of gtk_scrolled_window_new maybe this issue
is solved, but I can't find out how to connect gtk_vscrollbar_new to a vbox (or
frame).
