[pygtk] Computing optimum size of gtkhtml2.View

I'm trying to figure out how to compute an optimum size for a dialog 
containing a gtkhtml2 widget.

>From the looks of things, gtkhtml2 formats the HTML content to fit within 
whatever its current width is, it has no concept of a preferred size.  It 
just returns some fixed values for size_request() initially, and whatever 
its parent resized to, later.  My HTML content is sourced internally, and I 
cannot precompute it's optimum size.  I place my gtkhtml2.View widget inside 
a gtk.ScrolledWindow, which is then placed in a gtk.Dialog.

I tried a couple of ways of realizing the widget, and its dialog, but wasn't 
able to get anywhere.  Does anyone know how to compute the default height of 
a Dialog that contains a gtkhtml2 widget, for some certain, specific width?

I'm also trying to figure out how to detect when a mouse pointer is hovering 
over an href link inside the gtkhtml2 widget, so that I can change the mouse 
shape, and how to access the <input> element contents.
