The size of a gtk window is determined by performing a size request on it, which
recursively requests what size the window's child widgets want. Generally, widgets
that get size requested ask their immediate children what size they want, add whatever
size the widgets themselves want, and return that value. GtkScrolledWindows just
return a very small value, despite whatever ridiculous expanses of screen real estate
their children want.
It's all in the source, gtk/gtkscrolledwindow.c and gtk/gtkviewport.c :)
