RE: Custom container with multiple GdkWindows. Adding widgets don't show.

Thanks. Your first solution helped a bit. But I finally understood how totem does it. It is an entirely different approach and maybe easier. Totem uses, for the video part, a custom widget named "Bacon". When in fullscreen mode Bacon covers the whole screen. The controls that pop-up when the mouse is moved are actually packed in a separate GtkWindow. This window is of type "GTK_WINDOW_POPUP". That's why it shows above the Bacon widget. And lastly, the right-click popup menus by default show above the Bacon widget.
