[Jeff Westerinen]

Should I write up a bug or wait for the outcome of your discussion?

I'd say it's a bug at this point.

Resizing the window in the workspace should only affect the default size
of the GtkWindow. Specifically, this means the "default-width" and
"default-height" properties on GtkWindow subclasses.

Right now, the resizing functionality seems to affect the
"width-request" and "height-request" properties instead, and I don't
think this is the right behaviour. I do need to discuss this issue with
Tristan, but I have not gotten around to doing that yet.

cheers
