Adrien,

The details about your mac aren't important. There's a problem with Gtk on macs 
that the window stacking models are very different and Gtk can't control how 
pop-ups are stacked. It works out OK most of the time, but at startup when the 
dialogs get fired before the main window is realized the main window can get 
drawn on top of the dialogs.
If we use the Apple stacking levels we wind up with dialogs that behave like 
the Apple Help window: Always on top, even when GnuCash doesn't have focus. 
(Cocoa applications' dialog boxes automatically disappear when focus is 
switched but Gtk's don't.)

You've done a great job in the shallow end helping users. Thanks for that. 
Please start a thread in gnucash-devel about getting involved and we'll work on 
helping you bootstrap there.

Regards,
John Ralls
