Bug#372824: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#372824: xfce4: property windows should not always be on top

[Michael Gilbert]

i am saying that the "always on top" nature of property windows makes
it difficult for a user to use the rest of their system because the
xfce property window is always on top.  always on top windows are bad
for usability and user interaction.  and they are banned by the gnome
hig.  this is another usability improvement suggestion.
