I've being searching on the class reference of Gtk::Window trying to found 
something to tell the window manager to spawn the popup_window over all the 
desktop stuff.

Here is the code that has worked for me:

On the popup_window constructor:


 this->set_decorated(false);
 this->maximize();
 this->set_resizable(false);

 // None of these set_type_hint has worked
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DESKTOP);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_TOOLBAR);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY);
 //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NORMAL);

 this->set_skip_pager_hint(false);
 this->set_skip_taskbar_hint(false);

  ... All the configuration of the aplication ...

 this->raise();
