It's not that the assistant widget or the Glade IDE is broken (beyond
the bugs which are present in all GTK applications). The problem is
that about half of the basic GTK widgets are broken and hence any UI
that includes them breaks.

I can easily reproduce the issue with a mockup of an assistant created
using the basic widgets.

I am using gtk2 too. Most of the issues can be seen in glade or
glade-previewer which uses gtk3 now.

Thanks
