Bug#666718: GtkPaned's handling of preferred size broken

[David Weinehall]

Package: libgtk-3-0
Version: 3.4.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Applications that uses GtkPaned and text input entries, of main
importance here being empathy when used for multiuser chats, the text
input field grows unbounded.

There is a fix in upstream bugzilla, but it seems that the fix in
question has only been applied to gtk2, not gtk3.  The fix seems
possible to apply to gtk3 too.

Upstream bug in question:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587441

This bug makes IRC chatting and Jabber group chat next to useless in
empathy.
