The spinbutton "input" and "output" signals let you change what text
represents a value - e.g. look at testgtk, the spinbutton contains the
months of the year spelled out as "January", "February", etc. So
there's no way to get the size in that case.

I guess you could have the spinbutton always do its size based on
numbers, and for the weird cases people have to set usize. Would have
to think through the implications.
