You will need to keep track of the relevant toplevel windows somehow, so
you can easily access them if you need to. This could just be global variables,
or a list of toplevel windows.

Though I doubt it is safe to make calls to many GTK+ functions from within Unix
signal handlers. So be careful what you do.
