New description:

 while it is well handled with Top,Left,Rigth or Bottom placement, with
 Left Vertical or Rigth Vertical there is no control over the label size.

 I use this space also to say hello to everyone is working on Pidgin!
 I'm working on a Pidgin clone with some additional feature (I hope...), so
 I will be back soon with other questions/bugs/patches/etc...
 Thank you!

 edit: i wrote a patch that does not work... so I removed it...
