option menu truncation

[Matthew D Allen <s2mdalle titan vcu edu>]

It seems that when an option menu (gtk_option_menu_new()) isn't in what it
considers to be the right situation, it truncates itself so you can't see
the text that you've chosen or what is possiible - it shrinks down to a
simple button with a small box on it showing you that it is still an
option menu - is there any way to inhibit that?

I think I have enough space in the window to display the longest string
that it holds, and even if I don't, truncating within the window is ok,
but not truncating it down to a simple box where no text shows at all.

Does anybody have any suggestions as to how to nix that behavior?

TIA
