Bug Description
Currently, when synaptic spits out an error, it opens another window. However,
this window opens in the current virtual desktop, which is sometimes not the
synaptic one. This causes 2 problems:
1. The window doesn't show the taskbar and thus cannot be selected
2. Synaptic appears frozen while it waits for the (hidden) window to be clicked

Thanks for your bugreport.
Does it happen for all error windows? Or only for particular types of errors?
The default error dialog is of type GtkMessageDialog with a correct parent. If
there is something wrong with that it's most likely a window-manager problem. It
may be a problem for specific dialogs though.
thanks,
Michael
