Thanks, Michael, I already tried it, and it didn't work as expected. To manage the stacking order properly, each window has to be set transient for the window below it in the stack. But changing the order in this "transient list" doesn't work as expected : sometimes windows remain at their previous Z- order after the call. It seems that gtk_window_set_transient_for() is merely designed to manage dialog boxes that open over a document window, and not to apply changes to existing windows stack ordering. I'm still trying to go further with this function though. So far, the only solution I could find with this function is, when something changes in the stack order, to delete the transient info of each and every window, then rebuild it entirely. It seems to work, but it's not straightforward. I'll tell here the results of my experiments.
