It's hard to answer your first question (I don't think I can answer the second well) without a little more information. Are you only setting input widget size when you create the interface or are you changing while it is displayed? Which input widget are you talking about and what size are you trying to adjust (are you trying to create a 100x100 pixel checkbutton or a 40x5 character multi-line text widget)? In the simplest case you would use the "place" geometry manager and tell it exactly where to put the widget and how large to make it. There are many drawbacks to using the place manager (for instance you lose automatic resizing when the parent window resizes) but if this is something that is only going to be used once, it's probably okay.
