To my understanding the cause of the problem is the line

gtk_widget_set_size_request (widget, -1, rows *
child_allocation.height);

in the glade-palette-box.c file. It forces minimum height of the palette
to be the number of rows multiplied by the maximum height of a row,
which would be the height of the expander button plus the height of an
icon. I think it is mistake to multiply the height by the number of
rows, as there could be unreasonably many of them to fit the palette on
any screen at all. Maybe the size requisition should be even omitted
altogether. You can try to fiddle with that line, recompile, and see if
I'm right. In any case, file a bug in bugzilla.gnome.org to get it
fixed.
