 {{{
         177             gobutton.set_size_request(650, 45)
 }}}

 Using pixel sizes will break the layout in some screens. If we really need
 to specify fixed sizes, it's better to specify them in multiples of grid
 cells, see here for an explanation:

 So if we want a button to always be one cell wide and tall:

 {{{
         177             gobutton.set_size_request(style.GRID_CELL_SIZE,
 style.GRID_CELL_SIZE)
 }}}
