Look into GtkPlug or something like this... where windowid is the Xid of
a window. And window is a gtk_window object

    if (windowid != 0) {

        window_container = gdk_window_foreign_new(windowid);
        if (GTK_WIDGET_MAPPED(window))
            gtk_widget_unmap(window);

        gdk_window_reparent(window->window, window_container, 0, 0);

    }
