this means that set_resizable() worked.

if the widgets within the window request more space than the window's default
size, the window will grow.

to allow the widgets to shrink (or at least to request less size) you need to
do things like use scrolled windows and more flexible packing.  for example,
if you have a list or text box in a scrolled window but the scroller's
horizontal scroll policy is set to "never", the widget will request as much
width as necessary to display everything.  (the fix:  use "automatic" instead)
