What the difference between this and 

     GtkRequisition attributes;
     gtk_widget_size_request(w, &attributes);
     width = attributes.width;
     height = attributes.height;

I've been using the latter instead of the allocation.width/height settings.
It seems to work ok, but maybe its not what I really want.
