Title:
  Popup error boxes kill Always On Visible Workspace

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  I have a few windows that I regularly set to Always On Visible
  Workspace.  This works fine, until the window needs to display a pop-
  up error dialog, the kind that causes the window's window-list button
  to flash, with an "OK" button that you need to click.  When this popup
  occurs, if the window that spawned it isn't in focus, then when you
  click its window-list button to focus the window, it immediately loses
  its Always On Visible Workspace status.

  This bug has been present for several years at least.  I'm not 100%
  certain that it's a metacity bug, but I'm pretty sure it's something
  OS or WM related, as opposed to a per-app bug.  For example it occurs
  regularly in both Thunderbird and Google Chrome, among others.
