There are a number of ways to do this; the simplest, which leaves the
app window-managed, is:
 gdk_window_set_decorations(widget->window, 0);
 gdk_window_set_functions(widget->window, 0);
 gtk_widget_set_usize(widget, gdk_screen_width(), gdk_screen_height());
 gtk_widget_set_uposition(widget, 0, 0);

Or something like that. However users will be able to end up with your
game window underneath their other windows, using key shortcuts and
such.

XFree86 has a special fullscreen mode that games like Unreal
Tournament and Quake 3 use. I'm not sure if you want to go there or
not. I'm also not sure how to turn it on, though an ltrace of those
games may well tell you.
