That's really not the way to do it, and this denotes some confusion
about the role of the window manager.

If you want a quick a dirty solution, use "maximus" (also from
Ubuntu), otherwise you'll have to change the window manager code
appropriately (but not by trying to use gtk apps functions like that,
this is for the applications, not the window manager).

HTH,
