What do you mean by "correct"?

The current width/height of a widget is widget->allocation.width,
widget->allocation.height. This should always be true.

Now, whether the current width/height is what you expect at the time
you're checking it is another issue...

You'll need to specify more precisely what you want to do.

Normally the right way to think about this is "how can I track the
size of a widget?" and the answer is "gtk_signal_connect_after() a
handler to size_allocate"
