context:
========

I'm the drakxtools and the mandrake control center maintainer.
these tools are written in perl and use the gtk2-perl-xs binding.

description:
============

if i fill a label with a few paragraphs made up of long lines, labels does not
wrap correctly its paragraphs: it wastes a lot of space on its left and its
rights, despite having enough space to wrap more appriately.

this results in both wasted spaces on label margins and partly invisible text
(hance the need for a scrolled window).

i know that a GtkLabel isn't supposed to be as feature-rich than a GtkTextView,
but using a GtkTextView for such purpose is over featured and has also drabacks
(such as the meaningless input method contextual menu, which is useless for non
editable textviews)



as to prove this is not a bug of mine or of the perl/gtk+-2 binding, a small c
testcase is attached.

gcc $(pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --cflags --libs) -Wl,--export-dynamic -Os -s
-Wall -W test.c
