    gtkentry: set minimum-width to 0 instead of 150
    
    and use 150 as natural-width.
    
    Currently there's no way for a GtkEntry to be less
    than 150px wide (apart from using "width-chars" property),
    this is too much for a default minimum-width, an app
    developer may need to have a shorter GtkEntry, for example
    when the UI it's been shrunk by the user (see [1]) or when
    you want to match the size of another widget (which is less
    than 150px) see [2] for Evince bug on using
    gtk_combo_box_new_with_model_and_entry() for PDF forms where
    GtkEntry of ComboBox is too wide and doesn't match the combo
    list width.
    
    Using "width-chars" property may be a workaround to obtain
    a short minimum-width for the entry, but is not a proper
    solution for the mentioned cases as you may not know how
    short your GtkEntry will be, or the fact that using "chars"
    as a width unit is not pixel accurate.
    
    Curious note: the commit that introduced the GtkEntry
    minimum-width to be 150px is from 20 years ago, see

    in a blog comment https://bit.ly/2J96wRo
