gtkentry: set minimum-width to 1 instead of 150
and use 150 as natural-width.
Currently there's no way for a GtkEntry to be less
than 150px wide (apart from using "width-chars" property),
this is too much for a default minimum-width, an app
developer may need to have a shorter GtkEntry, for example
when the UI it's been shrunk by the user (see [1]) or when
you want to match the size of another widget (which is less
than 150px) see [2] for Evince bug on using
gtk_combo_box_new_with_model_and_entry() for PDF forms where
GtkEntry of ComboBox is too wide and doesn't match the combo
list width.
Using "width-chars" is not a proper solution for these
cases as you may not know how short your GtkEntry will be
or the fact that using "chars" as a width size unit is not
pixel accurate.
Curious note: the commit that introduced the GtkEntry
minimum-width to be 150px is from 20 years ago, see
