dialog widgets, file_selection widgets, color_selection widgets,
font_selection widgets, etc... all of them are derived from 
window widgets, so you just have to cast them to window widgets
(as in the example below) and apply the standard procedure 
for modal windows.

This keeps dialog on top of window:
gtk_window_set_transient_for (GTK_WINDOW(dialog), GTK_WINDOW(window));
