I am trying to keep a gtk.window on top, but I’m having trouble.
Here is my code so far. The example is in vala gnome (on windows 7).
public void onTop() {
window.decorated = false;
window.modal = true;
window.set_keep_above(true);
}

Looks like this is a very old GTK+ bug which was recently fixed.
You should be able to work around this by calling set_keep_above when the window has already been mapped, i.e. after show(). Comment 17 (from 2008) in that bug says it doesn’t work, but it does on my machine, so YMMV.
