you have entered a dark and frightening world of
using-GTK-in-ways-not-anticipated-by-its-designers.

the only way i have ever gotten this to work was to add a timeout for
configure events, and if some time (say, 0.25 seconds) elapsed without
another configure event, then use the last configured size at that
time.

its deeply ugly.
