[Pkg-bazaar-maint] Bug#556200: bzr: Password pop-up window does a pop-under

Package: bzr
Version: 1.17-1
Severity: normal


When I commit to a bound, remote repository, odd things happen.
I type
bzr checkout sftp://some.where/path
modify files, then
bzr commit -m 'A message'

At this point, it asks me my password on the terminal, I type it,
and the commit happens.       But, simultaneously, or maybe
shortly thereafter, bzr *also* creates a pop-up window asking
for my password.   Except that it pops under, and isn't easy
to notice.

If I enter the password in *that*, I get a semi-useless notification
in the upper right corner of my screen, telling me that I committed
a change.   But useless or useful (and I   suspect it would be more
useful if there was someone else working on the code...) the pop-up
should be on top, if it must exist at all.
