It's ok, no problem, you can safely forget about the test program.

Oh, right. BTW, the problem is not with visibility-notify but rather
with gtk_window_present() not raising the window.

Does the attached program works for you? It does work properly here. But
I'm not using gtk+-2.6 bit gtk+-2.10 so there might some difference.

If not, does calling gdk_window_raise(widget->window) work?

HTH,
Cheers,
Olivier.
