== __init__ ==
self.constructor=xfce4.panel.Plugin()
self.constructor.window.set_geometry_hints(min_width=128)
self.constructor.connect("size-changed",self.cb_size) # Init Panel Plugin

== self.cb_size ==

here is the whole gtk stuff ... button box and so on as the
size-changed signal is sent when the plugin has been added.

let's say the panel size (height) is  33 the signal return a tuple like this:

size-changed signal (33,)

then i tried even to use:

widget.set_size_request(args[0],128)

where args[0] is the size (33)

then for each widgets i tried:

print widget.get_size_request()

and i get normally:

(33, 128)

but in the panel the button has still a size of (33,33).

i can set expand True but i'll get just a really big button.
