If you look at glade generated "interface.c", you win find a function 
create_YourDialogName (); you can simply call that function with 
something like this:

GtkWidget * dlg,
          * parent;

parent = lookup_widget (GTK_WIDGET (button), "YourMainWindowName");
dlg    = create_YourDialogName ();
gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (dlg),
                         GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT);
gtk_window_set_modal (GTK_WINDOW (dlg), TRUE);
gtk_window_set_transient_for (GTK_WINDOW (dlg), GTK_WINDOW (parent));
gtk_widget_show (dlg);

Of course, all this provided that you're using glade generated code.

Cheers
