I am a bit in a hurry and can give you only this short hint:

Since GtkWindow is also a GtkWidget you can apply all the GtkStyle methods
to it. This should work. Take a look at the "GTK and GNOME Application
Development" (GGAD) book at developer.gnome.org. There is a detailed
discussion about styles and how they work.

Sorry, for not being able to providing more details at the moment.
Hope it helps though.
