 Just measure the height of font GtkText will use (seems it's in
GTK_WIDGET(text)->style->font), compute how much it will need for two lines
exactly (study all those details), and 
	gtk_widget_set_usize(text,-1,proper_height);
 If it's really only "text output" as you called - then you may use GtkLabel -
it allows multiline labels (and it allows underlining text).
