I tried to set also to call set_default_size for the main window without any effect. The function 
set_default_size is also not available for Gtk::ScrolledWindow.
Is there any chance to directly call the WindowManager or something else to shrink the window? Or can it be 
done by simulating mouse events? I am wondering that this is a seldom used feature :-)

What I tried and also fails:

bool Do( const Glib::RefPtr<Goocanvas::Item>& item, GdkEventButton* ev) 
{
    std::cout << "Do" << std::endl;
    //sw->set_size_request( 400,400); // make the window bigger works
    sw->set_size_request( 100,100); // shrink the window fails! why? Whats to do?
    winptr->set_default_size(100,100); // no effect!

    return true;
}
