Well,  use gtk_grab_add on the window, after your call to
gtk_widget_show on that window, i.e.

   gtk_widget_show(GTK_WIDGET(window));
   gtk_grab_add(GTK_WIDGET(window));

Destroying the window will also remove the grab, but you can remove
it explicitly when destorying the window:

  gtk_grab_remove ( GTK_WIDGET(window) );
  gtk_widget_destroy ( GTK_WIDGET(window) );
  
thanks,
