To raise a single window, use 

if (GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED(gtkwindow))
 gdk_window_raise(gtkwindow->window)

however to get a group to raise in a reasonable way, you need to set the
transient hints (gtk_window_set_transient_for() or
gnome_dialog_set_parent()) and hope your window manager isn't sucky. Many
window managers will raise the whole group if you tell them about the
group using the transient hint.
