I'd suggest you read the API docs for GtkWindow (the top level window 
widget):
   http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkWindow.html

It sounds like you are trying to maximise your window, in which case 
gtk_window_maximize() would be the call you want.  You should use this 
function instead of just changing the window size, since it lets the 
window manager restore your window to its previous size smartly (if you 
just set the window to a large size manually, how does the window 
manager know what the normal window size is?).
