Did you ever try the suggestion of putting the label in a GtkFixed
container?  Seems like that would be the best workaround for you.
GtkFixed will only experience the configure event (and subsequent
cascade of adjustments) when it is first displayed.  After that you can
update the label to your heart's content without setting of a cascade of
configure events.
