If you need to stack things, how is this best accomplished?
Imagine you are working with an embedded device with a series of
widgets that act as page so to speak. Here's the sequence of events:
Add a widget (call it menu page) to the fixed widget
Add a confirmation page to the fixed widget
Remove the menu page from the fixed widget
Add the settings page to the fixed widget
Remove the confirmation page from the fixed widget
Add the confirmation page to the fixed widget
(note that the last two operations were done in an attempt to get
confirmation page in the foreground)
After this sequence of events I would expect to see the settings page in the
background with the confirmation page in the foreground.
This does seem to be an attempt to simulate stacked GtkWindows. Is there
a reason that you can't just show a dialog?
