It's perhaps a problem with the code managing the hiding of additional
dialogs (eg, in windowmaker when you switch apps, the unfocused apps
only retain their main window) ?
Actually I think that on Windows (and probably on many window managers
..) this behavior isn't ideal... disabling it via a defaults could
help.
