put it into a vbox and hbox packing using Gtk::PACK_SHRINK and use
set_size_request to manually set the size according to your
requirements... I just tried that out and it works quite well although
you should avoid packing anything else into the vbox.

Also, there are the methods get_vscrollbar_visible and
get_hscrollbar_visible which you can check and invoke set_size_request
as required

This will require some tricksing with the other widgets around your
scrolled window however (and your vboxes and hboxes) because they'll
most probably behave rather strangely...
