->  I would have to say that I think if the desired effect is that the

->  mouse button is pressed, then GDK_WINDOW_TEMP (or gtk_window_new
->  (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP)) is exactly the right thing to do.

i still dont see thsi as temporary - tis an image viewer and it will
remian in this stae much longer than an intended "popup" (ie menu)

->  It _is_ temporary ;-) and, moreover, you don't want the window manager
->  to have anything to do with it.

set ppos, upos, set borderless hints and presto :)

->  above your window. Just make sure that the code to remove the window

->  stuck there...
