It appears here that GtkLabel is not getting the correct calculated height when text wrapping is enabled. Probably this is a gtk bug, however I cannot reproduce it with gtk git master (I also can't find any commits that look like they would resolve the issue).

Linked branch works around the issue by disabling text-wrapping in the category pane, however its probably best to find and fix the underlying bug.

Hum, why did you make your own version of GTK rather than using the one from the ubuntu-desktop ppa which already includes that fix?
