 To handle the height of buttons with different content height (ie. label
 only vs. button with an icon) we could modify the size_request function
 from the theme.
 (Another use case might be eg. menuitem size, to make the gtkrc nicer and
 handle menu items containing GtkCellView nicely.)

 Other possibilities I see (for the button case):
  1. Modifying GTK+ in some way, though no idea how to sanely add some
 option for this.
  2. Subclassing GtkButton in sugar, and overriding the size_request there.

 Note that I don't think we could subclass eg. GtkMenuItem because in the
 interesting usecase they are created internally by GtkComboBox.
