If you're using the 0.7.x code, then it's likely that rather than setting "ClippedByParent" to false, you should set "NonClient" to True instead.

So use absolute pixel sizes (offset) instead of relative sizes (scale)

Because you're using relative sizing, which is relative to the size of the containing FrameWindow. You should either use pixel sizes, or maybe add the button directly to the title bar itself (not sure if it's possible directly in the CELayoutEditor at the moment, but CEGUI supports doing this). If you need the button on every FrameWindow, then a better choice would be to add it into the looknfeel instead - since it's more powerful and offers more control than the layout system.

Well, the bottom part of the frame is just an image, so depending on the skin / looknfeel this area is not easily expanded from a visual point of view, unless you modify the source imagery and imageset to make it tall enough to accommodate your button(s). Another option is to have a container window that you add the buttons to, this could be styled such that it looks like part of the FrameWindow.

You can add any content you want to the bottom of the window (and keep it at the bottom) by way of using the window alignment settings with WA_BOTTOM and a vertical position of 0 (or whatever), this can be used in layouts or looknfeel. You may need to set this content with the AlwaysOnTop option to give the illusion that it's part of the window chrome, since in version 0.6.x there is no separate client area - so all content is contending for the same space equally.
