Bug Description

If a dialog appears while mid-drag, the icon being dragged will appear behind the launcher. I would make a short video but I am almost out disk space. This can be easily reproduced by running
$ sleep 5; zenity --info --text="See what I mean, Vern?"
then dragging a launcher icon until the dialog appears. Move the icon into the launcher and see it obscured by the launcher.

According to Jason nux::GetWindowCompositor().SetAlwaysOnFrontWindow(window) is the call not working correctly.
