Well, I'm destroy()'ing it directly myself, regardless of what glade may or may not be doing. I had a few more thoughts this morning after a good sleep. The widget is a dialog, and I had seen some wierd behavior when setting the 'Center' or 'Center on Parent' behavior, which gave me and idea. Perhaps the dialog doesn't have a proper parent, so uses RootWindow or some such. First time through it can pop to the top, but once I use my app again, it's brought to the top. If I run the script again, which reloads the glade widgets, whatever it's choosing as the dialog parent is no longer 'on top' so neither is the dialog.

Anyone know how to bring a window to the front?
