For the same purpose, I wrote that (note sure this is the simplest way):

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/
 /* GTK init */
 gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

 /* Colors init */
 gdk_rgb_init ();
 gtk_widget_set_default_colormap (gdk_rgb_get_cmap ());
 gtk_widget_set_default_visual (gdk_rgb_get_visual ());

 /* Let's create the top level window */
 main_window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);

 /* A good name for the window */
 gtk_widget_set_name (main_window, "foobar");

 /* Maximum size for the window (that of the screen) */
 gtk_widget_set_usize (main_window, gdk_screen_width(), 
gdk_screen_height());

 /* Not resizable! */
 gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (main_window), FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);

 /* WM hints */
 gtk_window_set_wmclass (GTK_WINDOW (main_window), "Foobar", "foobar");

 /* When we get the destroy message we exit */
 gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (main_window), "destroy",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_exit), NULL);
 gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (main_window), "delete_event",
                     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (gtk_exit), NULL);

 /* We suppress any window decoration (must be after "realize") */
 gtk_widget_realize (main_window);
 gdk_window_set_decorations (main_window->window, 0);
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/

Hope it helps...
