 Yes, it works very fine, except that warning message, so I am lucky!

 In my gui I have pulldown menu, h and vrulers, a panel in the left side
 and a message window at bottom. The scrolled window with the drawing area
 at middle.
 On the drawing area (scrolled window) I will popup dialogs
 for example a rule base editor so that membership functions can be drawn
 on the drawing area at the same time. There are several other dialogs, too.
 >What you want to do is create a Window widget with
   gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
 I've tried that - oh what I haven't - but I can't get the entries editable.
 I can't get it placed either.

 Does this mean that your advise is to create
  gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
 instead of
  gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
 or how I should understand it?
 >and then putthe contents inside the scrolled window.
 The only content in the scrolled window what I need is just the drawing area.
 >You'll have to duplicate the dialog widget by hand, 
 I didn't understand.
 
 Thanks a lot. Maybe you will respond.
