Now I got it. My .glade file is okay but the interface.c is contaminated
by lots of "-2" in calls to gtk_widget_set_size_request (), which should
really be "-1". Unfortunately, even if I manually correct my interface.c
Glade 2.0.0 completely overwrites it with those wrong numbers at next
build time. So it's definitely a Glade bug which isn't fixed in 2.0.0.

It also explains another problem I had: some widgets with given minimum
sizes not seeming to respect them. I thought this was a GTK bug as well.
