No, you don't need to do that. If your widget can calculate its own width & height exactly, it should do that in the normal size_request/size_allocate class methods, e.g. see gtklabel.c. You don't need to set the width/height in Glade in this case.
If your widget is something like a GtkTreeView, where the width & height is set by the application, you set the Width/Height on the Common tab to a reasonable *minimum* width/height, and then set the dialog's default width/height properties to a reasonable default size for the entire dialog. That way the user can resize the dialog as appropriate.
