Yes, gtk_widget_set_size_request() will
set the minimum size for a label, as it
will for any widget.

Don't confuse that with limiting a widget's size,
a label will request a minimum size based on
it's content and configuration, it may require more
width than the explicit minimum size set by the
user.

A widget's size can only be limited by limiting
what content will be displayed inside it (for label
widgets this is done using width-chars/max-width-chars
in conjunction with ellipsizing/wrapping).
