Gtk is a flow layout by default similar to HTML and Monodevelop's gui editor will have defaults for the AutoSize/Fill/Expand properties. I make heavy use of the Alignment containers and remove the Fill/Expand properties to attempt to force a size. Remember in a flow layout that the all of a Widgets parents have an effect on the appearance of a Widget play around but I recommend starting by putting the control you want to size in a Alignment container and unchecking the Fill/Expand properties.
As a fall back position if you really like the way WinForm's layout works use a Fixed Container.
