The GTK static text has automatic wrapping built in so I think the only 
way to prevent it is to make sure that the widget has enough width so it 
doesn't need to wrap.  At one point in time (might have been 2.6.4, but 
I don't remember) there was an off-by-one bug where it would default to 
one pixel too small, and so it would often wrap when you didn't expect 
it.  If that's what is happening in your case then it then it's pretty 
easy to work around.
