How about: gtk_window_set_keep_above(window, 1); gtk_window_set_keep_above(window, 0); This should bring it forward, then remove the requirement that it stay there. Alternatively, there is: gdk_window_raise(gtk_widget_get_window(GTK_WIDGET (window))); which is probably the best way to go. -Larry <la...@yrral.net> > > ______________________________________________________________________ > From: Larry Reaves <la...@yrral.net> > To: Sundaram <legend...@yahoo.com> > Cc: GTK+ DevList <gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org> > Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 8:48:06 PM > Subject: Re: GtkWindow Z-order Issue > > On Fri, 2009-01-30 at 03:59 -0800, Sundaram wrote: > > Hi, > > I have written a thesaurus using GTK+.
