Yes.

This is the window manager's job; the WM knows where the panel is and
can keep your window out from under it. (This is one of the reasons
that gtk_window_move() attempts may not be honored by the WM.)

Some WM's don't do this, some only do it if configured to do so; but
it's not your job as an app author to worry about that. It's up to
users to select a window manager that does what they want.
