I'm afraid gtk does not have support for that.
I think it's role of task manager for desktop
(possibly you want to know whether the program
 is running on same desktop - not on same computer,
 and reordering of window is the role of desktop
 manager, not GUI toolkit like GTK).
Thus, there might be something helpful in GNOME.
However, I don't know you want to use GNOME or
anything else.
