It's not only IceWM but also KDE :-(
In KDE,
- the dialog window _always_ is on top of the corresponding LyX window,
also if the focus is on the main LyX window.
- it does not have the maximize/resize and iconize buttons
- it does not appear in the task-bar
- when I iconize using a keybord short-cut, it moves in the background
(not taking LyX with it) but as soon as I give the focus to the main LyX
window, it is on top again
AFAIK this is a xforms issue. (still could be related to the window not
having its own name -- may be the next LyX version could give the dialogs
names?)
Yet this is the reason I don't use things like the math-panel and eagerly
wait for the KLyX to reappear.

Did you try with any other xforms program?
