I've never heard of this particular problem, but I'll mention that zwgc in
Debian has in the past had the property that it always gained focus and
went to the top in certain window managers. But that problem was fixed a
long time ago in Athena, and was fixed in Debian when the 2007-07-19
zephyr release went into Debian.
