I can add the calls to gtk_window_present(). I suppose I should add the calls  
and see what happens but I expect the focus to switch between at-poke and the 
window being poked. You will then have refocus at-poke to continue. Is this OK?

I have had a look at this and I think that blocking until the dialog is 
displayed is something that happens only for activating a cell in a GtkTreeview, 
e.g. activating one of the cells in the TreeView in gtk-demo's main window. I do 
not believe that it occurs with activating a button.

Is this correct?
