getting the natural size of a widget

I am attempting to use the GnoCanvas to build what is essentially a custom
container.  Placing widgets on the canvas works like a charm, but I can't
seem to find where the normal containers are reading their sizing hints
from.  I can read the height/width_request properties, but they seem to be
minimal sizes (e.g. for a text entry box I get a height and width of 1).
Does anyone have any hints on where I could go hunting - or maybe I should
be taking a different approach?
