Bug Description
(This may be related to but not the same as 1030060 and 1173234.)
Chromium stays on top of other applications, even when it shouldn't be drawn on the screen at all.
For example, if I minimize Chromium, it is still drawn as if it's on top of other applicaitons. Even though I cannot see these other applicaitons or parts thereof that were behind Chromium, I can interact with them with the mouse as if they are on top and in focus.
Also, even if Chromium is not minimized, it is still drawn above other applications even if another application gets the focus due to me interacting with it.
I can reproduce this on both a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and an install of Xubuntu that started with 12.10 and has successively been upgraded through every release.

Even if the lock screen appears because I didn't interact with Ubuntu for a while, the Chromium window still appears on top. I cannot interact with Chromium, but the window is still drawn on top of everything.
