If the user should be able to shrink the window even before
it reaches the target size (which is a good thing), probably
only by recalculating size of the window and resizing it
manually in response of the textview's size requests.  Once
the user sets the size excpliticly, it should stop setting
it itself, so you need to detect this situation.
Unfortunately I don't know a 100% method for this, what more
or less works is checking for "size-allocate"s that are not
preceded with size requests and are not self-induced by the
mechanism above.

If you don't care, enabling the scrollbars only when the
window reaches the target size should suffice.
