Strange, I have programs which does this (see olpack´s tscreensize component on 
silentcoder.co.za) and this has never happened with them. 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 ?
