This may not be exactly what you want, but calling Window.present() may
do the trick:

>From the JavaDoc:

        Presents a window to the user. This may mean raising the window
        in the stack order, deiconifying it, moving it to the current
        desktop, and/or giving it the keyboard focus, possibly dependent
        on the user's platform, window manager, and preferences. If the
        Window is hidden it will also call  show as well.

[that's org.gnu.gtk.Window, not org.gnu.gdk.Window]. With any Widget w,
I tend to call

        Window top = w.getToplevel();
        top.present();

When using Glade, I usually have Window _top as a class instance
variable that I populate as soon as I get my Glade file open,

        LibGlade glade = new LibGlade("file.glade", this);
        _top = (Window) glade.getWidget("my_window_name");
...
        _top.present();

so that I always have it around. I find I need it a lot.
