You probably should set the window policy to automatic, for example:

gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (window), FALSE, FALSE, TRUE);

Another thing, gtk_widget_set_usize sets the minimum size of the
window, so it cannot be used to decrease, only to increase.
Use functions like gdk_window_move_resize, for example.

You might also consider the gtk_window_set_default_size function.
