I think I know what you mean, I have a scrolled area in a game I'm making.
I attached the whole function of what I did, but the short form is:
....
scroll=gtk_scrolled_window_new (NULL, NULL);
wind = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
pwind = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
widg = gtk_drawing_area_new();
....
gtk_widget_set_size_request(scroll,
                        24*board_game::scale+50,14*board_game::scale);
....
gtk_widget_show_all(wind);
gtk_widget_show_all(pwind);
gtk_widget_set_size_request(scroll,
                        10*board_game::scale,5*board_game::scale);

Create the widgets, pack up set initial size requests, then after I
show the toplevel windows I set the size request to something smaller
so the user can shrink the window if he wants to.

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWidget.html#gtk-widget-set-size-request
also mentions that for windows you can use
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-default-size
..

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-set-geometry-hints
and
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Windows.html#gdk-window-set-geometry-hints
might be the more powerful things to call though.
