Use gtk_window_set_geometry_hints(). The 2.0 docs on this should be
enough to figure it out. (Though 2.0 is slightly different.)

Set the drawing area as geometry widget, then set the max and min size
of the drawing area in your GdkGeometryHints struct.

That queues a size request/allocation cycle from the allocation
portion of a previous cycle, thus a big mess.
