No, you're right: this depends on the window manager.  If you really
need/want to do fullscreen on your own, don't call
gtk_window_fullscreen(), and instead you can use
gtk_window_set_decorations() to remove the window borders,
gtk_window_set_keep_above() to force the window to the top, and
gtk_window_resize()/gtk_window_move() to place it properly.
