Yeah, this would be a problem, since I want it to be able to handle
arbitrary amounts of text and I want it to be word wrapped. I'd probably
like to capitalize on the capability to have stuff like italic and bold
text in there too.

I guess I need to really get into the guts of how the GtkTextView and the 
GtkScrolledView and all the various containers interact with respect to 
sizing. It may be that junking the [HV]boxes in XiaoItem and making 
XiaoItem be some kind of custom container that better understands what I 
want it to do is in order.

Cheers,
