Well, one idea is to connect to size-request signal on that progress
bar and to ensure it requests at least some height X.  For example,
you can ensure that height request never goes down in an instance of
your app.  That way you will have at most one height change (I
guess) --- if it is first without text, then with text and thus
higher.
