 Well after playing with all the g[dt]k_window_get_* type functions
for a bit and not understanding what they were giving me. I just
did...
 I hope there was is a better way, but non of the obvious functions
seemed to give it.

static void get_size_pos(GtkWidget *window,
                         int *x_pos, int *y_pos, int *x_size, int *y_size)
{
 int dummy = 0;

 if (!x_pos) x_pos = &dummy;
 if (!y_pos) y_pos = &dummy;
 if (!x_size) x_size = &dummy;
 if (!y_size) y_size = &dummy;
 
 if (GTK_WIDGET_VISIBLE(window))
 {
  /* NOTE: I really don't know the `gtk' way of doing this
   * but this seems to work */
  Window root;
  int tx = 0;
  int ty = 0;
  unsigned int tborder_width = 0;
  unsigned int tdepth = 0;
  gdk_window_get_origin(window->window, x_pos, y_pos);
  
  XGetGeometry(((GdkWindowPrivate *)window->window)->xdisplay,
               ((GdkWindowPrivate *)window->window)->xwindow,
               &root, &tx, &ty, x_size, y_size,
               &tborder_width, &tdepth);

  *x_pos -= (tx + 1 + tborder_width);
  *y_pos -= (ty + 1 + tborder_width);
 }
}
