Yes. The GtkWindow should not be limited to the contents at all, thats what I want.

An interesting idea... I might have a look at the implementation details of the scrollable area widget.

I'm currently reading through gdkevents-win32.c in an attempt to find where it enforces the minimum window 
size. I was hoping that somewhere in the WM_SIZING handler it would get the current allocation and set the 
RECT pointed to by lParam to that size. Or something like that, but so far I haven't got my head around it.

Or maybe it's happening in WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING?

GDK_NOTE is just debugging right?
