Do you have any pointer to gtk+ documentation regarding (non)support of overlapping widgets ? SWT ( eclipse.org ) does support z-order, and their GTK implementation seem to rely on GTK/GDK - I assume it works because X11 supports this. If GDK/GTK+ explicitely doesn't support this - then probably SWT is the right layer to implement this. Costin
