I'm not really quite sure what you mean by "Dialog Window"

GTK_WINDOW_DIALOG is basically the same as GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL except
it sets a transient_for hint pointing to the root window. The effect
of this is undefined in the X spec and your window manager could just
about anything in response to this. Some window managers may
use reduced decorations in this case, or make it stay above all
other windows of the app, but these things should be counted on.

The DND example in testgtk is commented out because it was written
for the very hold (GTK+-1.0) DND API, and never updated for the
GTK+-1.2 API. The real DND test these days is in testdnd.c.
