I can reproduce this problem (with 2.0.5 and master
(v2.3.0rc0-2268-g9ffff86e8d) with GTK+ 3.77.2, the dialog is very wide.
I guess it has something to do with the children not being constrained
while the parent tries to adjust to the largest width.

Maybe setting the maximum width hint for the label would help? (No idea
how, would have to read the fine manual for that.)
