Explanation
- Get the GdkScreen.
- Get the screen width.
- Get the screen height.
Notes
set_size_request works on most other widgets, including hbox, vbox, buttons, labels, etc.
For example, you can use $label->set_size_request(48,36) to set the size of a label.

If the user is using a multi-monitor setup, this method actually returns the total dimensions of all of the monitors combined.

I have 3 monitors, in my case the window becomes 2/3 out of the whole width of all 3 in line.
I need to get the width and height of the parent screen.
