That depends on what you mean.  You can find out if it has been shown or
hidden programmatically by calling GTK_WIDGET_VISIBLE() (or from gtk+-2.18,
gtk_widget_get_visible()). However, that will not tell you whether the
widget is obscured or iconified (that is, whether it is actually
visible on the desktop). You will need to track notify events and state
events to do that.
