This is a bug and its my fault (Jeff please file a bug report so
I can fix it easier).

The workspace widgets used to set the default-width/default-height of
toplevel GtkWindows automatically, this functionality was temporarily 
introduced for the initial demos of the embedded workspace, there
were/are plans for making properties change upon workspace resizes -
but its most important that we dont screw with
default-width/default-height without telling the user.

The behaviour I was looking for was:
  - If the user checked/enabled the default-width/height, then
    effect the default-width/height
  - Else if the user checked/enabled the width/height-request, then
    effect the width/height-request
  - Else do nothing

Anyway, while disabling that feature I must have missed some
kind of code segment that touches upon properties when you
resize the window.

Cheers,
