On the other hand, it's sometimes really annoying when window managers *do* respect that, and refuse to show you the dialog under the topmost window. And probably it doesn't matter greatly. It's not bothered me so far since the floating support came in.
Good to know. I like xmonad's 'disrespectful to clients' philosophy too :-)
Yes, in some case I remember it being impossible even to move a window that's not on the top. Very annoying. On the whole I regard xmonad's behaviour as a feature rather than a bug.
Client windows don't know what's good for them!
Indeed, I think most window managers let them get away with far too much with allowing them to choose their position and size.
