Since you're looking to allocate enough space to display the widget,
you shouldn't need to realize the widgets first. It looks like the
problem is with your use of set_size_request() and get_size_request(),
since get_size_request() only returns the values set via
set_size_request(). Just using size_request() should do what you want.
