I did

   pgtk_cr_update_surface_desired_size (tip_f, width, height, false);

and it seems to work flawlessly - the SET_FRAME_VISIBLE is utterly
needed here to make the check on line 3203 of pgtkfns.c succeed (or
better, fail).

More importantly, the initial phantom frame with a simple

(setq x-gtk-use-system-tooltips nil)

disappears so you can make Aleksandr happy ...

Unfortunately, I'm now getting

(emacs:2257): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 16:19:41.208: gdk_window_set_cursor: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(emacs:2257): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 16:19:41.231: gdk_window_create_similar_surface: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

which I do not get without the patch.  Any ideas?
