Re: how to shrink a window

[Jonas Platte <jonasplatte gmail com>]

set_default_size() is for the default size, set_size_request() is for
the minimum size – it's called size "request" because it's a requenst to
the window manager to not let the user shrink the window further, which
it can ignore (i3-wm does that for example).

What you want is resize():
