The GUII xforms dialogs are all now TRANSIENT dialogs so your window
manager will decide what happens with them. Window Maker for example
keeps transient dialogs above the main window. Yes, I know this is a bit
annoying (I too use Window Maker) however we have a problem with xforms in
that we can't raise an iconified form (Angus has other reasons he wants
them left as transient) so by marking them as TRANSIENT they can't be
iconified but your window manager may make you angry.

Not really a bug. An indirect result of a combination of your window
managers policy and our desire to workaround an annoying xforms bug.
