I also see this behavior in Ubuntu Dapper Flight 6. With Firefox open, System -> Administration -> and choosing anything that requires me to type in my password to load ends up being put behind the Firefox window when loaded. If I choose anything under Administration that does not require a password to load, it appears in the foreground.

Reproducing:
1. Load firefox.
2. System -> Administration -> Synaptic
3. It asks for a password. Enter your password then hit enter.
4. Synaptic then loads behind the Firefox window.

If I instead load System -> Administration and something like "Device Manager", it properly appears in the foreground.

(I'm not sure whether this is gksu or metacity, but it seems like it must be somewhere in the intersection of those two.)
