GTK+-1.2.4 is known buggy with toplevel resizing. We
hope to have a trial patch out for fixing this today.

Generally, what triggers it is calling gtk_widget_show() on
a window before you finish packing it. Which is not
a good thing to do in any case, since that is going
to cause the window to appear at one size then resize
to another size.
