When the progressbar gets text, it receives a size-allocate signal.  As a
consequence, its enclosing hbox reallocates.  I thought that possibly the
hbox moved 1 px to the right when it reallocated, but that is not the case. 
The button to the left of the progressbar does not get a size-allocate
signal after it is first realized, at which time its abscissa is 0.  Is
there a way for its abscissa to change to 1 -- which I know is happening
because I see the button move -- without getting a size-allocate signal? 
Does anyone have an idea of what could be happening to account for the
movement of the button 1 px to the right when I write text in the
progressbar?  I was thinking that I could design around the bug in maemo by
catching the signal that caused the erroneous movement and then moving the
button back where it belongs, but I haven't been able to find a signal
related to the movement.  I tried moving the button back where it belongs
everytime the hbox resizes (using size_allocate), but the button remains 1
px to the right of its correct position.
