Just to give you a start point:

   dlgwin = gtk_dialog_new();
   ...       /* set title and position a.s.o */
   gtk_grab_add( dlgwin ); /* make dlgwindow modal to your application */
   gtk_widget_realize( dlgwin );
   ...

And in the callback, which closes your dialog box:

   ...
   gtk_grab_remove( dlgwindow );
   gtk_widget_destroy( dlgwindow );
   ...

Hope, this helps!
