Bug#867427: evince: Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to EvWindow 0x55db4fdbf0f0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: evince
Version: 3.22.1-3
Severity: minor

When using evince, i regularly get these sorts of Gtk warnings:

(evince:8176): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to EvWindow 0x55db4fdbf0f0 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate?

I suspect it's from this call to gtk_widget_size_allocate():

  https://sources.debian.net/src/evince/3.22.1-3/libview/ev-view.c/?hl=4114#L4114

Since the other calls to gtk_widget_size_allocate are in
libview/ev-media-player.c, and the documents i'm looking at have no
media in them for a media player to deal with.

I note that clutter uses a dummy gtk_widget_get_preferred_width to
silence a similar warning:

https://sources.debian.net/src/clutter-gtk/1.8.2-2/clutter-gtk/gtk-clutter-actor.c/?hl=325#L325

This all seems a bit silly to me, but it'd be nice to keep stderror
clean so that real errors/warnings will be noticable.
