No, in my case it makes no difference with gtk_window_resize (). I cannot determine the window size before the size negotiation has started. My window contains normal widgets, but also a special (audio pattern) editor widget, which content size scales with gtk's default font size. The editor widget's content is a grid, composed of an undetermined number of rows and columns. The cell sized is indexed on gtk's font size. So here's what I currently do: 1 - the editor widget receives the size-request event. It sets the requisition size to the smallest possible. 2 - the editor widget receives the size-allocate event. It organized its layout accordingly to this allocation, but also sends a special "size-delta-event", which indicates by how much it needs to grow in order to display the whole grid 3 - the first time the main window receives the "size-delta-event", it tries to resize itself by increasing its widget and height according to what the editor widget needs. It works fine, the editor content fits well into the initial window size, and the user can shrink the window. However, my question was about removing the extra step induced by the "size-delta-event", by finding a way for the editor widget to request a non-mandatory/default size.
