There's not a direct equivalent AFAICT.  I think it's better to derive a
new object from GtkWindow.  Here's how:

Then you can do:

  MyWindow *window = my_window_new();
  GtkWindow *gtkwindow = GTK_WINDOW(window);

It shows the widget.  You don't usually need to care about repainting,
which is taken care of for you.
