> From the name it looks like gtk_window_set_geometry_hints works on 
windows. Your constraint results in a variable aspect ratio for the 
window; it means the system would have to compute an aspect ratio for each 
cursor position during window resizing. I've never seen any app doing 
this, especially video players which would be a perfect candidate for this 
feature, so I guess it's impossible.

Just my 2 ¢.
