You want configure_event on the GtkWindow. 

(This is the event that your embedded NEdit is not receiving, for
exactly the reason you explained.)

What you can do is simply sythesize a ConfigureNotify event for the
NEdit window, just as a window manager would. See for example
the function send_configure_notify() in metacity/src/window.c, 
or the equivalent function in any window manager.
