JFYI: I have a similar issue right now on my system with XFCE4, the run
dialog is shown on top of all windows initially. But it doesn't get
focus so I can't directly type in the app to start and as soon as I
accidentally move the mouse a bit focus is lost. Either way I have to
switch via alt-tab to it. _Extremely_ annoying, almost making it
unusable - luckily I don't use XFCE4 that often :)
