Try something like:

GdkGeometry geometry;
geometry.max_width = my_maximum_width;
geometry.max_height = G_MAX_SHORT;
gtk_window_set_geometry_hints (GTK_WINDOW (my_window),
                               NULL,
                               &geometry,
                               GDK_HINT_MAX_SIZE);
