Thinking about this - the signal sounds good. However it's up to the host to decide
whether to honour the resize request or not, so I would rename it to

  void setIntrinsicSize( int w, int h );
or even, for a more Qt-like name,
  void setContentsSize( int w, int h );

In the '<object type="image/png" WIDTH=50 HEIGHT=100></object>' case,
the host will just ignore that signal, otherwise it can use the information to resize
the object. Is that what's needed?
