Bug Description
Binary package hint: hamster-applet
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a gnome-terminal
- Place the gnome-terminal so that it covers the area where the hamster applet popup will appear
- Toggle the popup visibility via hotkey (such as Super-<H>)
Now more often than not, the popup will appear _behind_ the gnome-terminal. In other words, the popup won't be visible. This basically renders the hotkey functionality useless, for me.

I tried to reproduce this issue, but I couldn't. For me, the hamster applet always gets the focus.
