yep, cf. the function `gtk_widget_set_size_request' or the equivalent
properties `width-request' and `height-request'.
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-size-request
In lablgtk it's the widget#misc#set_size_request method.

And for a general explanation of how widgets sizes are determined, cf.
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkContainer.html#id3802029
