I've seen it happen, too. It is pretty annoying, and the weird thing is
that it doesn't happen all the time.

I develop Java applications, and during our tests, _sometimes_ modal
dialogs "decide" to stay below other windows, and it's immediate parent
gets iconified. This makes it almost impossible to reach the modal
dialogs: clicking on the parent window "tab" on gnome's window list
applet (yes, I use it with fluxbox) doesn't bring the window to the top
right away (it appears comes to the top and quickly "disappears"
again). Clicking the window tab and holding the mouse button down for a
sec usually works.

Really weird -- and really annoying. It happens with JDK 1.5.0_11,
Fluxbox is 0.9.15.1, running on Ubuntu 6.10.

Regards,

Andre
