I ran in a "bug" related to this one saturday in the testgtk
proggy. I changed the gtkbuttonbox behaviour to use a window, and
I saw that test gtk was unable to draw the upper side and 
lower side of the buttons in the horizontal buttonbox.
I looked for a bug in my code for a good time and found nothing.
Then I looked in the testgtk and changed the usize() args, and
everything went right.

IMHO you can set any minimal size with usize (maybe this is the
goal of this function, I didn't have enough time to check), and
the minima provided by *_size_request() are not used.
When I used the std NO_WINDOW scheme I didn't see any problem
because the buttons were drawing on the parent window which 
didn't check anything. So the borderwidth wasn't respected.

I think this is a problem with the _size_request() stuff which is 
not used.

more or less... For me, using widget instead of gadget triggered
the bug.

PS: I didn't recieve any message from this list after this one, 
is it normal?
