There has been lots of issues in GTK+ on Windows related to the
handling of transient windows, focus and activeness, and modality.
Many problems have been fixed quite recently.

That is a bit old. The 2.10 branch is not maintained any more. Try the
latest GTK+ Windows binaries, at this moment 2.12.3, but once I have
time to build it, 2.12.5. If you still notice problems in that, please
try to distill the problem down to a minimal test program (in C) with
a single source file, file a bug report at bugzilla.gnome.org, and
attach the source code to the test program. (Filing bug reports
against unmaintained versions, like the 2.10 branch, is mostly
pointless.)
