GTK+ doesn't use the X Resource Database, so it has no way of *looking*
at X resources.  (Heck, on some platforms, there is no X for it to
use....)

It doesn't appear from

	http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtk-resource-files.html

that there's any way to specify window sizes in a gtkrc file.

I think GTK+ 2.0 *might* allow widget arguments to be set from a gtkrc
file, in which case it *might* allow one to set the default height and
width of the top-level window.  However, GTK+ 2.0 is still being
developed, so it's not available yet.
