Description Christoph Reiter (lazka) 2009-03-31 17:01:12 UTC 
This one is bugging me for more than a year.. driving me nuts.. really!!

I often use "always on top" to keep my pidgin windows on top so I can text message while doing work. Or the terminal while programming.. etc.

Maybe it's not a bug, just miss configured.. don't know.

1) make one window "always on top"
2) open some windows.. and some with tray icons (like xchat, quodlibet, rhythmbox etc.)
3) click on the tray icon (it will call present and deiconify on the gtk window)

What happens: The window gets opened behind all windows. Even if the "always on top" window is minimized.

What should happen: The window should show up above all windows, but behind the "always on top" one.
