Something is fishy there indeed.  I somehow feel like we are doing
something wrong somewhere else though.  vte_terminal_set_size() should
be enough, the parent widgets should respect the request ...

vte widget placing looks odd too.  First text line is missing, and I
have a white bar at the bottom, looks like the vte widget is misplaced.

Maybe those two isses are related ...

cheers,
