Well, it would have been OK for that particular use, but is it really
useful at all to have a limit (leaving aside the fact that the
GtkSpinbox requires an upper limit when given a lower one, which is
IMHO a bug in its own right) ?

I mean, there will surely be someone one day with a need for a
(slightly ?)  larger scale factor... is there a real reason to forbid
it ?
