Hi,

that's correct and you're in trouble.
I have no knowledge of programming on Windows, but I feel reasonably 
sure that there is no cross-platform way of doing what you want.
On UNIX there are a number of ways (like talking to gnome/kde, your 
window manager, X11) but all of them use means OUTSIDE gtk because 
you're trying to get to a signal that some other software component 
would normally never even bother to send to your GTK app. Therefore, you 
need to talk to that other software component ... and X11 is probably as 
cross-platform as you will get here.

Karl.
