[pygtk] Computing optimum size of gtkhtml2.View

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

ok.  thanks sam.

to gtk developers: i'm going to have to terminate work on
python-desktop's gkt2 widget set until a solution is available:
python-gtkhtml3 or other solution.  it's simply not ok to have widgets
that force you to specify both the width and the height, and if you
don't do so, they just... don't work.

python-gtkhtml2 views, if you specify only the width, the height
remains at zero: that's unacceptable.

in gtk-sharp, Gtk.HTML works absolutely fine (iirc correctly)
