Re: Plans for 1.3/1.4

This isn't a proposal so much as a wish list...

I would like to see a consistently named set of functions 
that set the minumum, maximum, requested, and allocated size
of a widget.  Something like set_usize, set_msize, set_rsize, and
set_asize.  Although longer more explicit names like set_min_size(),
set_max_size(), set_req_size(), and set_alloc_size().
It seems to be a common problem that user must set the minumum size
then reset it later if they want to shrink the window or such.
This would solve that problem.  As the functionality is largely there
this should be a major change.

Also much of the gdk code uses the name GdkWindow when it means
GdkDrawable.  Although this is little more than a typedef, 
the lack of distiction is a bit confusing.
This should be cleared up during the merge of the two codes.
