I've used the following method to retrieve the X window id before.
But be aware that this is considered a no-no and may break in future
versions of GTK+.  (Because I am using GdkWindowPrivate).

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkprivate.h>

void DoSomething(GtkWindow *window) {
  GdkWindowPrivate *private;
  private = (GdkWindowPrivate *)window->window;

  DoSomethingWithXWindowHandle(private->xwindow);
}
