DesiredBehavior:
-width and -height options for windows embedded in a text widget (just
like those available for windows embedded in a canvas).

You can work around this using a frame, not that that's a particularly pleasant solution though...

I should add here that I think such a change (to add -height
and -width to [text] widget embedded windows in the same
manner as for [canvas] window items) would be a good thing
and would be very likely to receive support from me during
the TIPping stage.

Currently the width/height are the Tk_Req(Width|Height) of
the embedded window. If that's insufficient for someone's
purposes, then they ought to submit a patch/TIP to that
effect. It's not on my to-do list.
