+Subject: [PATCH] widget: Allow invisible toplevels to do sizing operations
+
+This is a quickfix to keep things working.
+
+It turns out GtkWindow assumes it can do sizing operations while not
+being visible, or while in the process of show()ing/hide()ing itself.
+And commit b495ce54 broke these operations.
+
+Figuring this properly requires some more thinking and restructuring on
+my part, so for now we relax the requirement of visiblility enough for
+these things to start working again.
