  I had a similar doubt and Paul Barton-Davis sent me answer on the
gtk-list.

  No there isn't, but there is a `gdk_window_get_size()` (*gdk* not
gtk), which worked fine for me. 

 I suggested that GTK made a gtk_window_get_size, but Paul gave
various reasons fot not having the `gtk_window_get_size'.... (check
the gtk-list archives). But personally I think GTK should have this,
hence it's a very basic function (in my opinion), and most developers
would like to have something like this ready in GTK... but that's just
me :-)

  good luck, hope this helps you,
