Authentication dialog for nautilus appears below file browser window with compiz enabled

[Ioannis Ramfos]

Binary package hint: compiz

When trying to browse an unmounted partition, which does not exist in /etc/fstab, with nautilus, an authentication dialog appears so the partition can be mounted. With compiz enabled, this dialog appears below the nautilus window. Without compiz, it works normally.

I assume there is a conflict with the "Opening... Please wait ..." popup (the one that gives the ability to cancel the mounting -- can't remember the text), which tries to be on top.
In this situation, the system seems frozen and I don't know which window has the focus for the keyboard. "Alt+F4" at least closed the dialog.

I experienced the same bug when trying to mount a fat32 partition. Especially annoying is that all my confused keystroke commands were 'queued' and they executed after I somehow got the OS to respond, (turning the machine off with those cntrl-alt-deletes of course)

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

In Jaunty, I can confirm the 'Authenticate' dialog appears hidden behind Nautilus. This only happens with 'Desktop Effects' turned on.
