(apologies for the cross-post -- but it now seems to be a pango problem rather than gtk+) Update: I made a simple test case with an app that just contains a GtkEntry widget which exhibits this problem. I rebuilt gtk+ with some debug print statements and determined that in gtk_entry_size_request() it was setting a height of 4115. It gets 4115 because pango_font_metrics_get_descent() is returning 4194304! I'm not too familiar with pango, but this would appear to be a much larger than normal value. I'll continue investigating this to figure out what's going wrong in my spare time, but any advice would be appreciated.
