Here is your problem. size_request gets the requested size of the
drawing area, which doesn't change; you want the actual size of the
drawing area, which is widget->allocation.width,
widget->allocation.height, i.e. the size allocation.

i.e. the size request is what the drawing area asked for (in effect
its minimum size), and the allocation is what it actually ends up
with.
