once the plug has been connected to the socket, $plug->get_size seems to
work to provide the info you're looking for.

i added the code:
use Data::Dumper;
Glib::Timeout->add( 500, sub { print Dumper($plug->get_size); } );

just before the Gtk2->main call in examples/plug.pl and watched the
numbers come out as i resized the window, they seemed to reflect the
size that the socket/plug was changing to.
