I agree - consistency; but the center question is the AutoResize 
property. If it is true by default, then the widget should show as soon 
as its text property is set to something "visible". If it is false, then 
the widget should not resize and, doing so, it should keep its default 
size. If its default size is zero, then the widget is invisible. The 
Autoresize seems to default to false, so gtk seems more logical.

Anyway, I believe that interactive editing of a form, and creatiaon of 
controls by code, are two different situations, with different 
requirements. Consistency is desirable, if it does not clash with 
something else more important.
