Re: Show window without it grabbing focus

[Steffen Gutmann <gutmann ieee org>]

Hi Danny,

There are two things you could try:

1. Try gtk_window_set_accept_focus (GTK_WINDOW(widget), FALSE) before 
showing the window.

2.  Try gdk_window_show(widget->window), or, if the window is already 
open,  gdk_window_raise(widget->window).

Regards,

   Steffen
