We add "(as superuser)" if the process which owns the window claims to be owned by user 0, i.e. root.
Please reproduce the problem, then do
$ xprop|grep _NET_WM_PID
and click on the window with the problem. xprop will say something like
_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 1586
And then do
marnanel@grantham:~$ ps aunx|grep 1586
(with 1586 replaced by whatever xprop told you). This should say something like
1000 1586 0.0 1.2 188156 52000 ? Ssl Mar22 11:41 /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server
and then tell us what it says.
