I thought about the problems I have with this implementation:

I am using a drawing area as child widget (of the frame which is a child of
the alignment), and I want it to be allocated exactly the space it requested,
and not a pixel more, never. This works with the proposed construction unless
the drawing area shrinks and the alignment allocation remains fixed (if I
switch on reallocate_redraws or not). This might again be caused by the frame
in between. If I could resolve this issue, I could finally forget about my
gtkframe modifications. How?
