The replacement function is normally listed with the docs for the
function. This particular case is just screwed up because the
replacement function, gtk_window_set_size() was temporarily removed.
(It will be added back later, I just removed the deprecation
#ifdefs for gtk_window_set_default_size() until that hapens.)

Also, see docs/Changes-2.0.txt; we'll do a more tutorial porting
guide later.
