A parent window would normally be clipped by its children, that is,
the child window's contents are always displayed and the parent's are
not. I'm not sure what you mean by "not draw in behind the child
windows," and I'm not sure if by "window" you mean the toplevel thing
with user-visible titlebar (GtkWindow) or any X window (GdkWindow), so
maybe clarify that a bit and I can give a better answer.
