I think perhaps this was to address your (9), widgets
sticking to bottom right if the window is too small. Perhaps
if we could calculate the minimum size we could make the
Fl_Flow widget from its contained widgets, we could do
something with that. Perhaps we could even compute the minimum
window size from that.
Ah, yes, I probably misunderstood. But anyway, I would definitely
not let the Fl_Flow widget make child widgets smaller than the
programmer designed. This would never work. Think of a still empty
input widget. What would be its minimal size? Only the program
author may have a clue. No, no, as I said before: if it's too small,
it's too small. The only thing we could do is not to hide widgets if
they don't fit entirely.
Obviously one complexity arises because depending on one
dimension the window may not collide in the other dimension.
You could end up with a smaller window, but one that is shaped
in a way that no widgets collide.
Let's not try to do the program designer's work. This is going to
fail. KISS
