If it were a nice simple bullet point, it'd be easier to fix than to
spend time talking about the fix and hiding behind rocks when the
problem comes up, wouldn't it?  ;-)

That said, I think Havoc already outlined the fix in
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310809#c24.  And as he said,
it requires some notion of a "natural" size.  Thus, the best way to do
this may be to wait for the results of Mathias Hasselmann's SOC
project and use that.
