	There are modal support in gtkwindow now.
	You have this function:

/* If window is set modal, input will be grabbed when show and released
when hide */
void       gtk_window_set_modal                (GtkWindow          
*window,
                                             gboolean modal); 	
	If you want to wait until dialog get close you can do something like:

gtk_window_set_modal(GTK_WINDOW(dlg),TRUE);
gtk_main() /* Here we stop until dialog get closed */

	And in the dialog destroy signal (or hide o whatever you want) you MUST
do:
	gtk_main_quit();

	The last things are only if you want to wait in that point of code and
then after user close dialog do whatever you have to do.
