Try setting width-chars property as well as max-width-chars property.
GtkLabel apis could use a face-lift. It's possible that the default minimum
width request exceeds the 10 max-width-chars which you set (which is
what I assume is causing this problem).

Hello there,
I was wondering if there was a way of avoiding a label (in a notebook)
to resize the window when the text in it is too big.
I heard of ellipsizing, and EllipsizeMode.END seems great for me, but
if I ellipsize it, it will be ellipsized even if the label is small.
So, I want to ellipsize it only when it becomes too big (over X
pixels), but I only seem to be able to limit it's width in chars using
max_width_chars. I also tried setting my label's max_width_chars to
10, but the string could still increase a lot, so it didn't work.
What do you recommend? Ideally, I would like to have a maximum width
in pixels, but chars is ok too.
/* Relevant code (vala) */
tab.label.max_width_chars = 10;
