I thought that might apply, but I couldn't really tell. It is not quite
right though - it should be on top of the other windows from the same
application, not on top of all applications.

An implementation problem is making gtk_window_set_modal invoke the hint
whenever it's called - since Gtk+ doesn't have the wm extensions. A hack
for now could add a virtual function to GtkWindowClass and override it in
GnomeDialogClass...
