If my app starting in the fullscreen mode, then all modal windows not overtop on main window. App is locked.

I'm write example to reproduce the error in attachment.

Yeah, I've noticed that myself a few times that modal only seems to work with "dialogs". Setting self.set_type_hint(Gdk.WindowTypeHint.DIALOG) usually helps.

btw. you're calling gtk functions from a thread and gtk is not threadsafe.

moving to gtk+, maybe they know more about why this is.
