yup ... works,
moving stuff to an event handler (actually I'm using size-allocate) and 
adding twice the ythickness from the scolledwindow style for the border 
does the trick.

Only thing is, I need to wait for the second size-allocate event and 
unregister the handler afterwards.

If anybody has a smarter idea for filtering out the initial event which 
fires while the dialog is not really visible than just counting the 
events and ignoring # 0, that would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Karl.
