    FlowBox: Explain how to avoid inflated min size
    
    along the orthogonal orientation. It seems a FlowBox on its own can only
    handle being shrunk along its main orientation. The orthogonal requests
    a huge min size – reserving what it would need if the main orientation
    got its min size, which would flow all children in 1 line orthogonally.
    
    Adding it to a ScrolledWindow (any policy) enables free shrinking, so
    size_allocate() can reflow how users in this situation probably expect.

  * Reducing the height will require more columns, so a larger width will

+ * The size request of a GtkFlowBox alone may not be what you expect; if you

  * The children of a GtkFlowBox can be dynamically sorted and filtered.
