For widgets, I think GTK_WIDGET_MAPPED(widget) is accurate; I could be
wrong. It looks like the gdk_window_is_visible() flag returns the
right value for GdkWindow, though I may be missing some subtle aspect
of it. I'd try gdk_window_is_visible() first I guess.a

Presumably you'll be porting to GTK 2 eventually, and then can just
use the built-in window_state_event feature.
