[maemo-developers] How to judge if GtkWindow is on top of hildon desktop or NOT

[From: Zhu, Peter J]

Simon,

Thanks for response. You get me a new way looking at this issue. 

I used differnt solution. Hildon library has a special function of
hildon_window_get_is_topmost() to address this very elegantly.
