It is possible to disable window decorations (Gtk.Window.decorated 
property), and then draw your own, but you can't directly influence what 
the window manager does, not in detail at least. Notifications, Menus, 
combo boxes, etc, are all X11 windows, but with decorations disabled and 
hints set appropriately. It's possible in principle to disable window 
manager decorations and then draw something that looks and acts like 
window manager decorations at the top of your window, but you'd have to 
know an awful lot about the window manager used for that to work well 
and look natural.

Browsing the API some more reveals Gdk.Window.[get|set]_decorations, 
which allows setting some more fine-grained hints. Mariano, you may want 
to look into using that.
