I don't know of a clean solution, but the code looks to me like you
can override size_request on the text widget, and then if
GTK_HANDLE_BOX(handle_box)->child_detached you can request the child's
current allocated size (widget->allocation). A gruesome and
technically not-allowed hack that GTK probably needs a feature to
avoid (the feature may exist, I don't know).
