I've never tried mixing these technolagies myself but I assume you only
need the capabilities of a GtkWindow to embed your sdl stuff, I'm not
sure if it will work but have you tried embedding a GtkWindow of type
GTK_WINDOW_POPUP "inside" your GtkWindow of type GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL ?

Docs say:
===================
...
Windows with type GTK_WINDOW_POPUP are ignored by the window manager; window 
manager keybindings won't work on them, the window manager won't decorate the 
window with a frame, ...
===================

I dont see why you wouldn't be allowed to make a popup type window a child
widget in your main toplevel container.
