GTK+ doesn't deal with z-order stacking. at least, GTK+ 1.2 doesn't,
and i've never seen anything about GTK+ 2 doing anything any
different. Havoc has said several times that the current code design
specifically does not cover the idea of widgets stacked on top of each
other, even though it may work for a few things.

if you want this, you need to use the GnomeCanvas.
