But let the widget/toolkit layout engine figure out the size. The
application developer should just specify what widgets are needed and
how they are to be arranged. The developer should _not_ be specifying
window sizes.

Exactly.  Don't try to override the window manager if I've configured
it to open your application in at certain location and/or a certain
window size. It's my computer.
