You can use gtk_widget_set_usize (GtkWidget *widget, gint x, gint y) to
set the minimum size of the window.

To set it's position, there's a few options.  For automatic placement:

gtk_window_position (GtkWindow *window, GtkWindowPosition position);

Where position is one of:

GTK_WIN_POS_NONE,
GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER,
GTK_WIN_POS_MOUSE

Or, if you want explicit placement, you can use:

gtk_widget_set_uposition (GtkWidget *widget, gint x, gint y);
