That was to the allocate signal it seems? You should override the
request, or enforce a different allocation. What you did bellow was just
manually do what GTK+ would do anyway =).

If you keep the policy as AUTO, or let the webview set it to auto by not
handling that signal, then you will get scrollbars.

In my tests with the code you provided if I add more lines of text to
the textbuffer the window grows to fit it, as expected, doesn't it for
you? What am I missing?
