This looks fine up to a point.

This should be:

  gtk_window_set_type_hint (window,
                            GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NORMAL);

See the archives for the reasons.

This is fine as a default, but settings windows should retain position
as do application windows.


I would prefer criticism of my code over silence.
