Here's a trick which Elrond on IRC gave me. You shouldn't need to
change the policy with this.
 
static gint reset_usize(gpointer data)
{
  gtk_widget_set_usize(GTK_WIDGET(data), 0, 0);
  return FALSE;
}
      
gtk_widget_set_usize(GTK_WIDGET(window),
                        640,  400);
gtk_idle_add(reset_usize, window);
