I'd connect to the "size-allocate" signal and accumulate the size of the
widget you are interested in. Alternatively, you can trigger size
allocation for this widget with:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-size-request
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-get-size-request
