SpinButton is_a GtkEntry rather than containing one, so it isn't
really supposed to be private. (Though the is_a relationship is a bit
questionable.)

Anyhow, spin buttons now default to basing their size request on MAX
(width_of_min_value, width_of_max_value), with a random hardcoded min
size of 30 pixels. You can override this with either
gtk_entry_set_width_chars() or gtk_widget_set_usize().
