If the user can't edit the text to make it huge and you know the text
will be smallish, just use GtkLabel. If the user can edit the text or
the text might be big, do you really want this to happen?

This is the rationale for why the text widget behaves as it does,
anyway. Can you explain the situation or behavior you want in more
detail?
