Hmm, what am I doing wrong here:

8<------------
use Gtk2 '-init';
my $parent = Gtk2::Window->new;
my $event_box = Gtk2::EventBox->new;
$parent->add($event_box);
$parent->signal_connect(button_press_event => \&a);
$parent->show_all;
Gtk2->main;

sub a {
   my $dialog = 
Gtk2::MessageDialog->new($parent,'modal','info','close','foo');
   $dialog->set_transient_for($parent);
   $dialog->run;
   $dialog->destroy;
}
8<------------

because on Windows the message dialog does not stay on top of the 
parent. Or is it my MinGW platform? Does this work ok in other Windows 
platforms?

Regards,

Ari
