The MWM hints are supported by the following functions:

void	      gdk_window_set_decorations (GdkWindow	  *window,
					  GdkWMDecoration  decorations);
void	      gdk_window_set_functions	 (GdkWindow	  *window,
					  GdkWMFunction	   functions);

There is an example of using set_decorations() in gtk/testgtk.c
