hm, he claims to have the paned put into a scrolled window, and according
to scrolled windows resize move, it should catch that, resize and not propagete
any further. if that is the case, it'd  be a bug in gtk (probably unlikely,
we've been through that code more than a couple of times). the GtkWindow
should even with auto-shrink only resize if a resize has been queued on
widgets above the viewport window hirarchy as well.

javi, could you send source, or better yet, provide a simple test case
that exhibits behaviour?
