I've since abandoned Gtk as for what is required for this project it's not suitable... using WinForms now.
Hopefully I'll get another excuse to play with Gtk# again in the future though :)

The way I did this (I've seen this done elsewhere) is to use an hbox or
table as the first widget on the window/dialog, put a GtkImage in the
first cell and set it's row/col span to cover the
entire window.
I'm using Glade# and I also wanted the image to be embedded as a
resource rather than as a separate file. AFAICT, you can't do this
directly in Glade, so the image widget is just a placeholder and I load
the image I want to use at runtime:
Gdk.Pixbuf pb = Gdk.Pixbuf.LoadFromResource("myimage.png");
background.Pixbuf = pb; // [Glade.Widget] Gtk.Image
One problem I haven't been able to fix is getting the image to cover the
entire background when a dialog is being used - there's a GtkHButtonBox
at the bottom you can't change.
