(I'm using exclusively gtk2, so the following might need adjusting to
gtk1.2, but should give you the basic idea.  Hopefully.)

I'm guessing it's something like the following (I'm not too familiar
with the atoms, especially the STRING (there's also TEXT, COMPOUND_TEXT
and UTF8_STRING, I don't know the difference.)

GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new (...);
const char *command = "whatever";

GdkAtom *wm_command = gdk_atom_intern ("WM_COMMAND", FALSE);
gdk_property_change (window->window, wm_command,
                     gdk_atom_intern ("STRING", FALSE),
                     8, GDK_PROP_MODE_REPLACE,
                     command, strlen (command));

gtk_widget_toplevel () and GDK_WINDOW_XID (window->window) probably.
