Assuming a dlg_window is an object that is or derives from GtkWindow,
you are probably looking for something that derives from [1]
GtkContainer, such as the recommended [2] GtkGrid.

The recommended way to use Gtk+ is to use relative positioning and
alignment, rather than absolute size and position; this allows your
application to present a usable window across a variety of window
sizes, languages, and fonts. However, if you _must_ use absolute sizes
and positions, [3] GtkFixed is available.
