While you are at it, would you mind looking at what happens in emacs 
when you have set the "Always On Top" flag for a window?  The menus in 
that case briefly popup, then get stuck behind the main emacs window. 
If you hold the mouse button down and drags it around between a few 
menus you can eventually get them to stick on top... sounds like all 
child windows of an "Always On Top" window should also have that flag 
set.  I don't know if that is easy or hard to solve though.
