[David Raufeisen <lamer fortyoz org>]

XWMHints        mywmhints;
GtkWidget       *window;

window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 56, 56);
box = gtk_event_box_new ();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), box);
gtk_widget_show(box);
gtk_widget_show (window);

mywmhints.initial_state = WithdrawnState;
mywmhints.icon_window = GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(box->window);
mywmhints.icon_x = 0; 
mywmhints.icon_y = 0; 
mywmhints.window_group = GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(window->window);
mywmhints.flags=StateHint | IconWindowHint | IconPositionHint |
WindowGroupHint;
        
XSetWMHints(GDK_DISPLAY(), GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(window->window),
&mywmhints);

i add stuff to the event box.

thats what i did. works. doubt its very correct.
