->  drawing_area_size merely changes the _requested_ size. In fact,
->  even that requested size can be overriden by gtk_widget_set_usize().

->  void       gtk_window_set_policy               (GtkWindow           *window,
->  						gint                 allow_shrink,
->  						gint                 allow_grow,
->  						gint                 auto_shrink);
->  
->  But if the configure event gets called with a size the widget

hmm actually setting auto_shrink to 1 mad eit work.. but i ask.. my
windows did shrink AND grow... i had allow_shirnk and allow_grow on the
parent window on, but not auto_srink... it did work well up to a
point.. is there an untrapped case happening here? I seem to smell it..
but I may be wrong...
