Gtkmm is a graphical user toolkit, not a desktop environment. Because of
this it makes no attempt to provide mechanisms for doing things that are
considered to be integration between an application and a desktop
environment. gtkmm is for drawing things on the screen and interacting
with user input.

GNOME and KDE are two examples of open source desktop environments; the
win32 API is another. You should look to these kinds of libraries/tools
for this functionality, not gtkmm.
