Have you tried calling set_type_hint method on your gtk.Window object? (http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkwindow.html)
Here (http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/gdk-constants.html#gdk-window-type-hint-constants) you have type hints for gtk.Window that you can set, try DOCK or SPLASHSCREEN. I'm not sure if it will work in Unity as it should, but you can try different window type hints in conjunction with other window related settings and see what suits you the most. 
If this doesn't work, you could try talking to X directly, although it's not as easy as method described above.
