can i get any more hints on this ? the reference docs are pretty
skimpy, and the only suitable example i've found of using is in
testgtk, which looks good but doesn't totally explain how this
works. what are the different fields in a GdkGeometry struct? are
there any requirements for the widget i pass into set_geometry_hints?

many thanks, as usual.
