Windows "popping under"

[Erik Bågfors]

Yes, It's SOOO annoying...

"In the past, while typing something into one application when
suddenly your instant messenger offered a chat request from your
friend, your words would be typed into the chat window. Imagine if you
were typing your password at the time. This should no longer happen in
GNOME 2.10."

So, is this intentional?
