Gtk2::Ex::NoShrink is a simple container widget imposing a "no shrink"
policy on the size requested by its child.  If the child asks to
become smaller then that request is ignored, rather the child's
largest-ever request is used.

The actual size the NoShrink and in turn its child get depends on the
further higher widget parents.  But for forms or tables where size
requests provoke a re-layout the NoShrink can stop pointlessly small
wobbles, or if the child's desired size is data-dependent but too hard
to calculate in advance then it can let the child reach a peak and
then maintain that.

The only prerequisite is Gtk2-Perl (the Gtk2 modules).  The NoShrink
home page is
