Glade uses gtk_widget_set_usize() to change the size of widgets in a GtkFixed
container. It works for me!

To move the widgets, I currently use:

  gtk_fixed_move (GTK_FIXED (widget->parent), widget, new_x, new_y);
  gtk_widget_set_uposition (widget, new_x, new_y);

gtk_fixed_move() doesn't seem to do everything necessary at present - some
widgets do not move unless you call set_uposition() as well.
