"foo" didn't confuse me, but I am surprised if "xx-large" gives
you a true relative size, I wouldn't expect it to.  Do you mean
to say that "large" will be different sizes depending on your 
gtkrc theme?

If not, "xx-large" is still considered hard-coding of the size,
you should use only "smaller" and/or "larger".
