[pygtk] Attempting modal window in win32

[Croata]

Hi again,

There's no problem about avoiding to activate the parent widgets; I
should have said that the problem is about the loss of z-order of the
windows... my fault

For better understanding I've setup the code at
http://www.dinko.cl/~dinko/test-py.html, and a graphical explanation
in http://www.dinko.cl/~dinko/test-py2.html

Thanx,
