Modal dialog working?

["Ian Puleston" <ian underpressuredivers com>]

Hi,

I have an app that does the following to open a pop-up message window:

    dlgWin = gtk_message_dialog_new(GTK_WINDOW(mainWin),
                 GTK_DIALOG_MODAL | GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                 GTK_MESSAGE_INFO, GTK_BUTTONS_OK, msgText);
    result = gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dlgWin));
    gtk_widget_destroy(dlgWin);

The problem is that the pop-up window is not acting as a modal dialog, at
least in its Windows port (I haven't tried the Linux version). If I click on
the main app window the message dialog disappears behind it, which can be
confusing for a user (the main app window will not then accept mouse
clicks).

Also, I have two dialogs opened with gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons. One uses
"GTK_DIALOG_MODAL | GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT" and the other just
"GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT", yet both of these appear to behave as
modal dialogs (I cannot bring the main window to the front when either is
open).

This is with GTK 2.10.7. Does GTK_DIALOG_MODAL normally work OK?
