But it should converge, innit?  If it doesn't converge, you
have probably a deeper problem.  Also don't resize the table
if you don't want to actually resize it (i.e. the new sizes
would be the same), this might help.  Look at Gimp's toolbox
widget which does something similar.

Only windows get configure events.  (And GtkDrawingArea for
some obscure reason, but it gets it only because it
synthetizes it and sends to itself.)
