It seems that the label ignores/don't get the size request of the
window, even if I remove the window.set_size_request line and manually
try to resize the window. The layout is drawn at the same size no matter

The label already fills the whole window.

See at the code below for a workaround to achieve that.

This could be Bug #318276 which got raised a month ago by myself.
