reserving a panel/taskbars space on the screen

["Francis (Grizzly) Smit" <grizzly smit id au>]

Hi I'm trying to use gdk_property_change() to make my taskbar/panel I'm 
writing to reserve it's space on the on the screen so that when thing 
maximise they wont go beyond my widows boundary, does any one here know 
how to do this?? this is what I have worked out but it's wrong some how.

    guchar data[4] = {0, 0, 0, height};
    gdk_property_change(gdk_window, 
gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom(gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name("_NET_WM_STRUT")), 
gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom(gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name("CARDINAL")), 32, 
GDK_PROP_MODE_REPLACE, data, 4);


thanks in advance for any help.
