Hmm.. spose it's a feature of the resize code :)  Anyway, you can tell a
window to shrink by using:

void gtk_window_set_policy (GtkWindow *window,
                            gint allow_shrink,
                            gint allow_grow,
                            gint auto_shrink);

and setting auto_shrink to TRUE.

eg:

gtk_window_set_policy(GTK_WINDOW(window), TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);


Hope that helps,

Ian
