Dear All,
according to the GTK+ FAQ to make a window modal you call gtk_grab_add
(window) and then when it's destroyed called gtk_grab_remove (widndow).
However my code was using a different method!
After showing the window I call gtk_main () (yes, for the second time)
and in the destroy handler I call gtk_main_quit ().
Now this admitedly incorrect technique was working just fine (on several
platforms and for a long time) but I thought I'd change it to use the
FAQ's reccomended technique.
Now after I call I get a SEGV with this backtrace:

rtld_fini=0x4000e184 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffff64c) at
../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:129
So I gather I'm freeing something twice or some such nonsense.
However I would like to know what other precautions that I should be
taking.
I did also notice that even though the FAQ says this is how to do modal
windows, the window I've done a gtk_grab_add on can still be hidden by
other windows in my application should I click on them etc. This isn't
what I call modal.
TIA
Craig.
