	Ok - so I dug at this for a few moments and added this patch to our
'ooo-build' build / patch set:

NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_UTILITY : NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG;

-#endif
             case windowType_ModelessDialogue:
             case windowType_ModalDialogue:
                 eWMType = NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG;

	Which looked hopeful, unfortunately it seems not to fix the bug (for me
at least); also, presumably there is some way to make this conditional
on metacity version somehow ? [ using 2.4.55 ].

	OTOH - it's entirely possible that OO.o is doing some bogus raising
action, I understand the top-level window stuff is a nightmare; perhaps
Philipp knows more ? [ the problem is switching app using the task-list
focuses the utility and not the toplevel window ].

	Regards,
