Of course there is a way to do this. Just measure the strings to be shown in
OptionMenu, set the widget's width to that + some constant via
gtk_widget_set_usize(w,width,-1)
As for minimum size of dialog - gtk will figure it out itself (if you've set
minimum size of drawing area). When the user presses "customize", dialog will
resize automatically.
IMO this should work.
