Ok, in this sense I think it's a different problem. It seem to apply
perfectly also to the history window.
Personally I think that when there is a strict relation between two
windows (the url will be opened in the "parent" window), it's important
to make it evident. Where the url will open once you have moved the
window in the background ? The result is potentially crack. Maybe raise
it would help a bit but ... it could still "overwrite" one of the sites
you was looking at.

Maybe this could be reduced to a window manager issue (we set_transient,
it's up to the wm to choose the behavior). I think Dave even posted an
HIG bug about this some time ago. But yeah, there is still a difference
between history/bookmarks dialog and an alert.

At least, seen in this way, I'm less concerned about this point.
