Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

On Natty, if any application in fullscreen mode opens a new window, then
the Unity panel and launcher will come to the foreground on top of the
fullscreen view.  To see this, open gedit, choose View->Fullscreen, then
press Ctrl+F for Find.  As the Find dialog appears, the Unity panel and
launcher will appear too.

I've also observed this behavior in Gimp and Shotwell.  It probably
occurs in other applications too.

This also happens when logged into the classic desktop: there, the
gnome-panels come to the foreground.  It does not, however, happen when
running Metacity instead of Compiz in the classic desktop.  So it
apppears that the behavior is related to Compiz.
