Ah, it has occurred to me that there is a fourth option. This option depends on you not minding long text elipsizing (ending itself with ... to show there is missing text). Any real-life application intended for other users is going to want to ellipsize to indicate to users missing text, but yours may not be a real-life application in that sense. If you call set_ellipsize() on the label and then set its size with set_size_request() it will behave as you want, but with ellipsizing on long text. As a development of this, you can set a tool tip contained all the text which a user can hover over if she wants.
