I'm happy that this was so well received :)

Maybe a decent property name alternative could be:
  "minimum-line-children"/"natural-line-children" 

"minimum-children-per-line" would fit the description
but seems to me absurdly long while "minimum-children"
seems a little vague/general.

Shall I go ahead and add this to git master after
making these trivial changes ?
  - Change property name
  - Initialize priv->children = NULL
  - Use correct packing defaults in GtkContainerClass->add()
    implementation.
