Depending upon the sizes of the two windows... The modal window can
parent itself, and
center itself over the child window. Of course the user can still drag
the modal window,
uncovering the child window. An alternative would be to have the modal
window "hide" the
parent window (if that's what you really want), and then unhide it when
it is being destroyed.

I like the hide idea, but when I try to hide the main window nothing
happens. The basic logic I'm using to try to hide the main window when
a new window pops up after selecting from the menu in the main window is:
GtkWidget *tlwin=gtk_widget_get_toplevel(GTK_WIDGET(menuitem));
gtk_widget_hide(tlwin);
Any ideas why the main window is still there?
Thanks,
Dave
