[Gtk-sharp-list] Annoying disappearing window problem

[Aaron Oxford]

Hi all,

I'm still having this problem where my main window loses focus after 
showing a dialog. The rather contrived scenario is one of the ways I 
can find to replicate the problem, which appears to occur as a result 
of launching one dialog from another dialog (for a context menu). 
Here I've demonstrated it occurring as a result of showing two dialogs at once.

It's not just that the window becomes inactive, Gtk# actively seeks 
out another application's window, brings it to the front, and 
activates it. This is making my application impossible to use. Please help!

Aaron.

     // Create the window.

     // Close program.
     void wnd_Destroyed(object sender, EventArgs e)
