I have committed something that fixes testellipsize and seems to still
do the right thing for backwards request mode. Not sure if it makes
sense, though...

One more behaviour difference I see in testgtk is that the wrapped
labels in the labels example seem to get a bit too much space
allocated and don't fill out their frames entirely. Any ideas about
that ?
