The content of the label is *much* smaller than the size is expands to, 
that's the bug/problem.
The content or "size of content" does not change. It has the same number of 
characters, even. But the hbox still expands and directly after that I can 
make the window smaller so it expands to a higher size than it needs...... 
That does not sound like how it should be to me, but I could be wrong of 
course.

Anyway, I'll try using the set_usize, although not the nicest solution.
