i already had the window policy set to allow_shrink, and i just tried out
the code without the gtk_widget_set_usize()-hacks and you're right, it
works now. actually this code snipet was a little bit dated (march?) and
those times ;) gtk didn't do the shrinking without the hack.
also, i didn't look into it again after then.

anyways i'm rewriting this part now to use the notebook, that's where my other
posting (notebook bugs?) came from ;)
