Yes, that's exactly what it should do, but it doesn't do that now...

static gboolean
verve_plugin_update_size (XfcePanelPlugin *plugin, gint size, 
VervePlugin *verve)
{
   verve->size = size;
   gtk_entry_set_width_chars (GTK_ENTRY (verve->input), size);

   return TRUE;
}

If you use this as the callback for the size-changed signal, it will set 
the width based on the panel size.
