The only real solution to this that I can see is to draw another
GTK window in the bigger window and pass that windowid to SDL.


You need a GtkWidget that has an Xwindow associated with to to
pass to SDL (not all Widgets have x-windows, like frames don't).
I use a drawing area inside of a frame for my SDL/GTK application.
