As you've found out the dialog's size is determined by it's children and 
it's padding.
My suggestion would be to add a MxFrame inside the dialog with a fixed 
size.


  dialog = mx_dialog_new ();
  mx_dialog_set_transient_parent (MX_DIALOG (dialog),
                                  CLUTTER_ACTOR 
(mx_window_get_clutter_stage (window)));
  mx_dialog_add_action (MX_DIALOG (dialog), mx_action_new_full ("close",
"Close",
G_CALLBACK (close_dialog_cb),
dialog));

  frame = mx_frame_new ();
  clutter_actor_set_size (frame, 500,500);

  clutter_actor_add_child (frame, mx_label_new_with_text ("Dialog 
Window"));
  clutter_actor_add_child (dialog, frame);
