No.  What you see is the expected behaviour.  Perhaps you misunderstand
geometry negotiation.  The "Place" properties are only relevant when you
place the widget inside a container widget that supports those
properties.

If your tree of widgets is simply a GtkButton in a GtkWindow, then the
button must take up the space of the window.

Place the button inside a button box, table, menu bar, or any of the
other containers in order to avoid having it behave in the way you see.
