intrepid: gnome-screensaver help doesn't display correctly

[Sam Williams]

When you click on screensaver icon -> properties you display the properties window for gnome-screensaver. If you select "power management" the power management window is displayed above the properties window, but below the screensaver preview pane of the window. The behavior is very consistent, unless you are displaying the properties window on top of firefox. In that case it will display properly the majority of the time.

I have included a screenshot showing the problem.
