Thanks a bunch!! That did the trick! :)

Hmm, it's gonna be difficult since GTK+ is pretty much very `desktop space
efficient'. Meaning it wants to use as little space as possible (much
different than say Motif).

I would suggest a new function to set the exact size and force it to take
on that size.  There might be apps that currently rely on certain
behavours of gtk_widget_set_usize().
