No, -1 means "i am not specifying a minimum size". You need to know
that its never been clear what the "u" in "usize" really means, but
its best to think of the function as gtk_widget_set_minimum_size().

To get the effect you want, pack the widget into a box with the
correct orientation and set the pad/expand options to FALSE. Then pack
that box into the next level box. At least, thats what i've done in
thousands of line of GTK code, so if there's a better way, i want to
hear about it :)
