Google Chrome also did this thing, I believe, until I configured it. But it was so long ago that I don't remember what I changed, exactly. Another program that exhibits this behavior right now is Steam. When I launch Steam, it sometimes tries to pop up a window showing current sales promotions or whatever. However, it's impossible to raise the sales promotion window to the top so that I can actually see all of its contents. It's permanently stuck beneath the main game window, until I just close it. I can slide it around the screen and see part of the content, but that's it. The idea that your application should do its own window management because the user's chosen WM may differ from what you, the developer, wanted is utter hubris. Especially when you can't even get it to work the way you thought it should.
