Check this out:

The syntax of your resulting call will be like this:

Gtk::Window window;
Gdk::Geometry geometry;

geometry.max_height = 600;  // or whatever value you wish
geometry.max_width = 800;  // or whatever value you wish

window.set_geometry_hints(
                                           window.gobj(),             
       // g_obj returns the widget that Gdk wants to see
                                           geometry,                   
          // the desired geometry description
                                           Gdk::HINT_MAX_SIZE     // 
indicates the geometry structure field to use
                                           );

Hopes this helps.
