gtk:window-type-hint (object)

object -- a gtk:window widget
hint -- a value of the gdk:window-type-hint enumeration

The accessor for the type-hint slot gets or sets the type hint for the window. By setting the type hint for the window, you allow the window manager to decorate and handle the window in a way which is suitable to the function of the window in your application.

This function should be called before the window becomes visible.

The gtk:dialog-new-with-buttons function and other convenience functions in GTK will sometimes call this function on your behalf.
