That doesn't happen for me; this little sample below opens its main 
window, then a child window overlapping it; when you click on the button 
within the child, the child window stays above the main window with the 
dialog above the child. After the dialog is closed, the child remains on 
top and has focus.

This might give you somewhere to start comparisons - or if you like, 
send the code that is misbehaving to me and I'll try to determine where 
the difference is.
