Yes, most containers like boxes and tables can do this.
But you have to use the packing options to get the layout you want.

For example you can use a table and make one widget 3 columns wide and
another one 5 columns wide, and it should divide up extra space between
them in those proportions.

You can set the default size of the window in the property editor.

If you hit Ctrl-R above a window, it should be resized to the size it
will appear when you compile it.

There is some support for GnomeDB, but you have to compile Glade with
 ./configure --enable-gnome-db to use this, and you have to have recent
versions of Glade and GnomeDB (possibly CVS versions even).

There is a separate list for C++ development. See the Gnome mailing
lists.
