I'm not sure whether it helps but perhaps you should try playing with
gtk_window_set_type_hint () a bit, for your fullscreen window and / or
its dialogs. I expect it to change the WM layer of your window(s). Maybe
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK, GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN or
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU help.

However, be aware that it's probably dangerous to play with those
attributes without good reason. It's possible to screw up the desktop.
Furthermore, they may not be respected by every window manager.
