I would guess it ´s the window manager that is responsible for it, I know that under KDE it won´t go behind or over the taskbar but will just stop dead against it. Unless you are trying to go for fullscreen mode which I am pretty sure will require a call to gtk_wm_hint stopping against the taskbar has always been how I defined maximized. Mind you it may be possible to use a wm_hint call in your oncreate event to tell the window manager to maximise it for you ?
