if you're not using a window manager you won't get decorations either;
so all you need to do to achieve fullscren is just set the size of the
GtkWindow to be the same size of the GdkScreen attached to it (see:
gtk_widget_get_screen()).

now, if you want to *detect* whether or not you're running under a
window manager, you can look at the EWMH specification and see which
hints you can use.
