It's a limitation of libertine. If you switch to desktop mode, you'll be 
able to launch different Xapps in separate windows, but all subwindows are 
displayed inside parent window.

As you, I'd like too see it fixed soon, though it seems not to be on 
libertine bugtracker [1]. As I understand, it means it's either not 
actually related to libertine (e.g. is a Mir bug) or wasn't yet reported.
