Hey Kip, You can try to place your image into a 1x1 GtkGrid and see if it works. If not... hmmm... I'm trying to think of an existing Gnome app which has scaling images. Hmmm... probably none. Scaling images (unless in Gimp/Inkspace) to containing widget size is probably rarely done.
Anyway, here's another idea: You can try to solve the recursive scaling problem by not using all the available space. Try to make the image fit, say 90% of the aspect frame. Then the image is not big enough to cause the aspect frame to rescale (which probably would cause the recursive scaling). You may get a little bit of screen space wasted, but if you don't mind the 10% (maybe you can reduce it to 5% or less) it's okay. Another idea: Image editing software usually uses a custom canvas and draws things on it, including scaled SVG images. Maybe you can put such a canvas in the aspect frame, possible also inside a 1x1 GtkGrid, and scale the image within the canvas. Then, the image scaling is just a canvas drawing operation and has no effect on the AspectFrame size, and shouldn't cause recursive scaling.
