Hi,

gtk_window_set_policy() doesn't seem to work correctly if I
also try to set the initial window size.  Using an hbox of
buttons,

  gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (window), TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);
  gtk_widget_set_usize (window, xSize, ySize);

Then the dynamic resize doesn't work.  If I change xSize to 0, 
then the ySize is obeyed, and the dynamic resize works correctly.
Likewise, if I have a vbox, I can set xSize, but ySize will break
the dynamic resize if it is non-zero.  Can't I set the initial window
size, and then let the window size be dynamic?
