I dont know if this is documented anywhere but just take a look at the size_request() and size_allocate_after() functions here: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glade3/trunk/gladeui/glade-editor-property.c?revision=2034&view=markup (note the calculation for the child label allocation will be alot simpler if you just wrap it alone in an hbox or something). Its a little evil and hackish but the technique will give you expand to fit allocation ellipsis (although personally I've only tried it for word wrapping).
