the status is always the same: bugs reported will be looked at by the gtk maintainers depending on time.
So the status at this moment is that no developers have time to look at bugs reported by application developers. Or is there something wrong with my report in particular?
the source of the issue is that gtk3 does not allow widget underallocations, unlike gtk2. underallocations were a huge source of edge cases, code complexity, and nasty bugs in gtk2 and when the time came to review the size negotiation implementation, and add support for height-for-width and width-for-height, keeping support for underallocations would have made the code balloon out of the maintainership capabilities of the gtk team - as well as introduce new and exciting bugs. this is why setting the minimum size using set_size_request() will not work in your case: the label's minimum size is bigger than the size you requested. long story short: if you want to set the minimum size on a label you can do it with the set_width_chars() method: http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkLabel.html#gtk-label-set-width-chars
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried it just now, that method also no longer works in GTK+ 3.x. Accordingly, I have reported this problem also: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665560
