I cannot try it 'live' right now, but isn't the problem that 
WindowTypeHint is from Gdk and not Gtk namespace, therefore you should 
use 'Gdk.WindowTypeHint' instead?  Also, since it is enum, it should be 
possible to use string literal instead.  Following should porbably work:

local window = Gtk.Window {}
window:set_type_hint('POPUP_MENU')

And since type-hint is event the window property, you can probably use

local window = Gtk.Window { type_hint = 'POPUP_MENU' }
