Not a bug.

No widgets should ever peek at the explicit user set size request to
implement the size negotiation vfuncs.

Those are handled in GtkWidgetClass.adjust_size_request() base class
implementation.

It does, width-chars, as always, only effects the minimum size, not
the natural size.

As I mentioned in the previous mail, I believe this has *always* been the case,
GtkWindow always shrinks down to minimum size (or now in GTK+3 'natural size')

This is how you get the shrinking dialogs when closing the expander in them
(for non-resizable windows).

However, it could be considered a bug, one would expect GtkWindow to make
an attempt to honor a user set default size for a non-resizable window.

Perhaps it's even a regression from GTK+2, not so sure.
