Another argument against this API is that presumably this would break if
the user did
request = { width: 100, height: 50 };
instead, which would be pretty non-obvious.

gtk# automatically converts foo_set_bar() methods into writable
properties (when that's appropriate based on the method signature). So
if you had
struct NamedPoint {
int x;
int y;
char *name;
};
void named_point_set_name (NamedPoint *np, const char *name);
then instead of having an np.set_name() method, you'd just have a
writable np.name property that called named_point_set_name() underneath.
This works well and tends to make the APIs look a lot more native and
less badly-mapped-from-C.
