title: Totally fed-up with get Gtk widget height and width
body: <p>Trying to get Height and Width of GtkEventBox.<br>
  Tried following Things.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>GtkRequisition requisition;
  gtk_widget_get_child_requisition(widget, &amp;requisition);
  // Getting requisition.height 0
  ---------------------------------------------------------- 
  
  widget-&gt;allocation-x   //getting 0
  widget-&gt;allocation-height   //getting -1
  ----------------------------------------------------------
  
  gtk_widget_get_size_request( widget, &amp;height, &amp;width); // Again getting 0
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It is really bad that Gtk has not provided simple function that will give you the actual displayed height and with of the widget. </p>
  
  <p>Anyone tried to get height and with of GtkWidget?</p>
