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.
