Bug#499006: dialog when unable to download is in background not foreground

[petes-bugs at thegoldenear.org]

Package: update-manager
Version: 0.68.debian-6
Severity: normal

When Update Manager's window is maximised and a repository isn't available
(such as debian-multimedia currently), Update Manager opens a window in
the background, without it showing up in GNOME's window list, with the
message that it isn't able to download from the particular repository.

This results in my choosing 'Check' then choosing 'Install Updates' and
Update Manager seeming to do nothing, appearing to be broken, until you
close it down and then notice the 'hidden' message.

Synaptic's similar error message opens in the foreground, I recommend
Update Manager's does the same.
