#773 [lxpanel] Pager applet breaks panel layout with GTK+ 3

[Balló György]

If the Pager applet is added to the panel, the panel width settings are ignored, and the panel is not streched to the whole screen. When I remove the Pager applet, the panel works as usual. I guess that the WnckPager widget sets something that confuses the panel, but I don't know what causes the problem.

Package versions:
- lxpanel 0.8.1
- libwnck3 3.14.0
- gtk3 3.16.6

It might be fixed with latest GIT sources, at least it works OK with GTK 3.2. Check it, please. Thank you.

I tested lxpanel 0.9.1 with gtk 3.22.4, and it's still broken. As soon as I add the Pager applet the the panel, the right part of the panel disappears. When I remove the applet, the panel behave normally again.

With gtk+ 3, libwnck uses the new get_size_request_mode. This setting is propagated up to the LXPanel widget and interferes with the layout.
To fix, we can override get_size_request_mode for LXPanel.

@jubnut, thanks for investigating this. Unfortunately your patch doesn't fix the issue for me. There's another report here: https://github.com/lxde/lxpanel/issues/29

Do you know what we can do to fix it?

Thanks!
