I'm seeing this on my x100E Thinkpad with 64 bit Ubuntu. I'm forever typing my password into application windows rather than the password prompt.. two bugs.. password window doesn't make it to the top and there is no color differentiation for the active window.

Usually I interpret this behaviour of password windows not making it to the foreground as an indicator of high risk of the presence of a trojan or other malware in a non-displayed foreground window.. if there is such a thing. There are other risks associated.. such as risk of commands entered and executed in the wrong window.. that could be fatal.

I'll take some screenshots later this week if time permits. I would support increasing the priority of resolving this 'bug' of not being able to see which window is active. I'm using the (..) "red wine background with black frame/header and the window controls on the top left side" interface.
