Ok, fair enough.

Right. What I will do is resize to exactly what is passed into my
do_size_allocate() override since that size should theoretically meet
the aspect ratio I am maintaining via my
do_get_preferred_height_for_width() override.

Here's what I did...
def do_get_preferred_height_for_width(self, width):
return (width / self._aspectRatio)
def do_get_request_mode(self):
return Gtk.SizeRequestMode.HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH
...but something very interesting happens immediately after the return
in do_get_preferred_height_for_width(). I get an assertion fail buried
deep somewhere in python-gi...
ERROR:../../gi/pygi-closure.c:494:_pygi_closure_set_out_arguments: code
should not be reached
One thing is clear. The latter do_get_request_mode() is in fact being
queried.
