Folks,
I was hoping this to awake a least a bit interest at least by Excelis
people (Chris)?
I've tested this on my other Mint machine and the same occurs: new
windows always appear behind the old ones.
If it would happen on windows or mac people would have complained:
anybody to confirm if this happens (or not) on other linux
distributions? I'll wait a couple of days and open a bug report.
