Title:
  Always On Top ignored for all windows when Top'd window opens a
  subwindow

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Metacity 2.30.1-0ubuntu

  When Always On Top is set for a window, and the window opens a
  subwindow (such as preferences or a file chooser), the always on top
  setting is temporarily ignored for all windows.

  What I expected: Windows with Top marked would remain on top when non-
  Top'd window gains focus regardless of subwindow.

  What happened: All windows with Top marked fell behind when window
  gained focus, even windows that had no subwindow open.

  Reproduce:
  Open three applications (I used gedit, totem, and pidgin)
  Mark two windows as Always On Top (I used gedit and totem)
  Open a subwindow in one of the Top windows (I used open file and preferences in both totem and gedit - all four work)
  Click into the third, non-Top'd application
  The third application will raise above all windows, including Top windows

  If you click back into the Top'd window that has not opened the
  subwindow, then click into the non-Top'd window, the Top'd window
  remains on top.

  If you click back into the Top'd window that has opened the subwindow,
  then click into the non-Top'd window, the Top'd window falls behind.
