title: In python how do i get the size (width,height) of a gtk label?
body: <p>I have looked all over for this but can't find an answer that works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>element.get_allocation().y returns -1
  element.get_allocation().height returns 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the code im using to create the label</p>
  
  <pre><code>item_link_summary = Gtk.Label(item_summary)
  item_link_summary.show()
  self.layout1.put(item_link_summary, 0, top)
  print item_link_summary.get_allocation().y
  </code></pre>
