I had to go back to the GTK docs for this one.  It is apparently a 
mechanism for limiting which widgets can be "grabbed" (given focus for 
all user input) with gtk_grab_add() to the widgets within a 
GtkWindowGroup.  Under gtkmm I can find almost no reference to 
Gtk::WindowGroup other than the fact that it wraps GtkWindowGroup. 

Under the heading of just barely educated guess:   If you created a 
Gtk::WindowGroup, then only controls added to it would be "editable" by 
the user.  I currently accomplish this by using the set_sensitive method 
for groups of controls.  This may be an alternative way of doing that.

Once again, just a barely educated guess.
