Actually I don't think the OP was. I think, given his references to how
nCurses works, that he wants either a series of modal dialogues, or an
MDI interface. Since Gtk does not support the latter, he should
consider designing his application for multiple windows and let the WM
deal with Z-order.

HTH,
