I don't think there is a gtk way of doing this but there is
a solution you can try. If the widget is a GTK_WINDOW, get the
GdkWindow associated with it and then get the GdkWindow's XID,
this means you then go to the gdkx level and use XMapRaised() on
that window (you'll also need the display pointer).

Look at /usr/include/gdk/gdkx.h for how to get the XID and Display
for a given GdkWindow.
