Comment 7 for bug 1409354

I found the following block in Terminal,

            int minimum_width = t.calculate_width (80) / 2;
            int minimum_height = t.calculate_height (24) / 2;
            set_size_request (minimum_width, minimum_height);
            app.minimum_width = minimum_width;
            app.minimum_height = minimum_height;

Does anybody know what the purpose of this is? This is already setting a size request, therefore it is stopping me from solving the issue.
