Test issues windows
I have setup appveyor and the good thing is that Gtk (at julia 0.7) basically builds on windows. However, there are some pretty funny test errors:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tknopp/gtk-jl/build/job/wp61rfx4xueufg8c
Seems to be a general Gtk issue.
Pango tools took three tries to download. The next library failed on try five of five. Try again?
With good hope for gtk on windows, good luck!

@hustf: no not that one, have a look at that one: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tknopp/gtk-jl/build/1.0.2/job/wp61rfx4xueufg8c
All is ok, the only issue is that the window size is wrong.
Windows tries to "let us" specify a number of different screen units, so some round-off is expected. This was a huge round-off, which will occur with tiny windows.
Perhaps rewrite the checks to accept both? Something like
@check windowsize in [400, 464]
Btw., I am trying to reproduce locally, but struggle a bit with the new package manager. Julia starts building automatically, and cancelling that process lead me to loose my git head. Is there an easy way to avoid that? Sorry for asking in the wrong place.
I can reproduce locally, with the same test numbers as in the appveyor logs. Unfortunately, however, the REPL starts to show output very, very slow. Which I believe is an old issue with Gtk on Windows. This was on Julia 0.7 run in a cygwin (mintty terminal) window.
There is another way to launch Julia on Windows, directly from the windows explorer. With this approach, the tests behave slightly differently. Some windows are initially launched in full-screen mode. There is none of the terrible slow-down from the cygwin-launched Julia. The test output is the same as in appveyor and cygwin.
I don't get these size issues on my Windows 7 (both starting from VS Code or the terminal). I guess disabling the tests is fine for now, I doubt anybody relies on getting these values exactly.
Thanks Jonathan, good to hear that this is not a real problem. There are more important tasks to move Gtk.jl forward. So as this is "fixed" I will close the issue.
