For a window without any window manager decorations, look in the
GTK+ docs for 

  void gdk_window_set_decorations(GdkWindow *w, GdkWMDecoration d);

a couple of notes on it though:

  1) pass it a pointer to a GdkWindow NOT a GtkWindow.  Usually all
     this means is that if you have a GtkWindow (w) you would pass:

         w->window

  2) You need to call this on an already realized (gtk_widget_realize())
     window, but before it is shown (gtk_widget_show())

        GtkWindow w;
        GdkWMDecoration d = 0; /* 0 == no decorations */
        ...
        gtk_widget_realize(GTK_WIDGET(w));
        gdk_window_set_decorations(w->window, d); 
        ...
        gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(w));

Of course, if you want something other than NO decorations, you can
string together some decorations like:

  GdkWMDecoration d = (GDK_DECOR_BORDER | GDK_DECOR_RESIZEH);

etc... 

Look at the GTK+ 1.2 API reference (GDK & GTK) at www.gtk.org and you
should be able to figure it out.

good luck
