Buttons that are set to CAN_DEFAULT request extra space for displaying
the default; GTK+ normally dynamically positions widgets so this extra
space it taken care of automatically --- gtk_widget_size_request()
when called on such a widget will simply return a bigger value.

The amount by which such a button are bigger is a pretty much fixed
value currently (it's 11 pixels in each direction for most themes),
but that might well change in the future.

I'm not sure if that answers the question...
