Hi, something like (untested):

#include <gdk/gdkprivate.h>

Window
get_xwin( GtkWidget *widget )
{
	GdkWindow *gwin = widget->window;
	GdkWindowPrivate *pgwin = (GdkWindowPrivate *) gwin;

	return( pgwin->xwindow );
}

Take a look at the source for (eg.) gdk_window_show() for hints. Of course
this is an unsupported hack and will break horribly with lib changes. You
might be able to find another way to solve your problem --- why do you need
the xwindow?
