Title: Getting a PollingLabel to show itself.

Hi again,

When attempting to add a PollingLabel widget to my bar, I found it wouldn't display. XMonadLog, however, had been working fine. I saw that they in fact both use gtk Labels, but `xmonadLogNew` runs the action `widgetShowAll l` before the `toWidget` call, while `pollingLabelNew` doesn't. I tried adding that same line to the PollingLabel code, and that did cause the relevant widget to show up properly in my bar. This was complete trial-and-error, but hopefully it solves a problem that could show up on others' systems. If you want info about my configuration let me know.

Btw, thanks for merging my other request.
