I'm very glad to hear that. I've been thinking about how this feature could
work. I don't use a lot of different widgets so I may be overlooking some use
cases but I have a suggestion on how this could work, generalized:

1. There must be some sane minimum size (width for horizontal panels, height
for vertical panels) so you can't make a widget disappear.
2. Widgets should probably be able to specify their own minimum size, I guess
based on some scale against the other axis.
3. Widgets might want to specify a default size, again based on some scale,
larger than their minimum, but some "sane" size to match user
expectation/design goals.
4. Widgets might want to specify a maximum size if scaling beyond a certain
ratio doesn't make sense or isn't supported.
5. Widgets should be allowed to grow beyond their minimum size (either their
advertised minimum size or the user specified minimum size), see my System Tray
example above.
6. Depending on how well this all works in general (how well do most widgets
handle/scale with the extra surface area) widgets should be able to either
opt-in or opt-out of this feature.

To me it seems a minimum size is the way to go, but maybe someone else could
come up with an example where a "user specified maximum" size would be
preferred.
