I've being searching on the class reference of Gtk::Window trying to found 
something to tell the window manager to spawn the popup_window over all the 
desktop stuff.

Here is the code that has worked for me:

On the popup_window constructor:


  this->set_decorated(false);
  this->maximize();
  this->set_resizable(false);

  // None of these set_type_hint has worked
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DESKTOP);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_MENU);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_TOOLBAR);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_UTILITY);
  //this->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_NORMAL);

  this->set_skip_pager_hint(false);
  this->set_skip_taskbar_hint(false);

   ... All the configuration of the aplication ...

  this->raise();
