Any new window appears under active window when there is stay on top window minimized

[dvh]

When new window pop up and there is another window with "Stay on top" flag minimized, the new window will pop up under it.

How to reproduce:

1. run first application, e.g. xterm and maximize it
2. run second application, e.g. xcalc and make it "Stay on top", then minimize it
3. because second application is minimized, active window is first application (xterm), you can type characters in it
4. Now, if you run any application, it's window will popup behind first application. You can try execute e.g. gnome run dialog, but you wil not see it, only it's button on bottom task bar will appear.

Expected behavior.

First window is not "stay on top" type window, it should NEVER hide newer application windows.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

[Mackenzie Morgan (maco.m)]

Uh, Pedro, if you're going to say "it's already been reported" could you please say what the original bug report is and mark it as a duplicate of that one?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Mackenzie, you're more than welcome to help us to search for the exact bug number, we have tons of bugs to deal with daily and searching for the exact number becomes a hard task, help is really appreciated, anyways upstream related bug is http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548809; linking that.

[Mackenzie Morgan (maco.m)]

Yes, I know there are lots of bugs reported a day...about 1000/wk, I
think. I was confused by the bug being marked Invalid (ie Not-A-Bug)
instead of being marked a duplicate.

[Mackenzie Morgan (maco.m)]

The upstream bug was marked Invalid because it's a duplicate. Linking to upstream's master bug.

This bug is a duplicate of bug #197288 and they share the same upstream bug.
