[gnome-love] resizing a text_entry_box with gtk+

[Maya <escalante canada com>]

I am in the process of porting an application from Qt to Gtk/GNOME tha
uses a large number of gtk_entry_new_with_max_length(??);
but the size of the box inside the table is toooooo large, can anyone
help?

he is a US citizen who's stupid enough to believe it.
