Re: Keeping window on top.

Yes, I noticed that the modal window got all the "attention". The
transiente call does exactly what I need. Thanks

Keep in mind that you can't actually draw in the drawing area while your
floating menu is visible if it's modal. (That's what modal windows are
designed for.) Therefore you should avoid modal windows for your case.
Rather use gtk_window_set_transient_for () indeed.
