More or less. You will need to ensure that when the window is finished with you have called gtk_object_destroy() or gtk_widget_destroy(). I suggest you also read the documentation, which has an example: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkDialog.html#GtkDialog.description > How do I make the dialog's parent ignore user input? Event if I call > gtk_window_set_transient_for(dialog, parent), the parent remains > clickable. If you want this, then why not call gtk_dialog_run() and have a blocking dialog? However, if you have a special reason why you want to do it without a recursive call to gtk_main(), then use gtk_window_set_modal() as well as gtk_window_set_transient(). As a further sophistication you can set the parent insensitive with gtk_widget_set_sensitive(), but if you do that you will need to set the parent sensitive again when the dialog is finished with (say by connecting a callback to the destroy and/or hide signal).
