This is more of a feature reuest then a bug.

Here is an example of the problem.

I have Safari up while surfing. Mail.app is open in the next desktop. I
switch compose a message and switch back to the desktop with
Safari. Mail encounters a problem and generates a popup window.
The window goes onto the window with Safari on it. I notice mail
bouncing in my dock and switch to the desktop with mail in it. Mail
is unresponsive because I need to reply to the prompt that is on the
window with Safari on it. I select mail then switch back to the
window with Safari on it and Safari gets forgrounded. The only way
to find the prompt is to use Expose to split the windows so I can
select the Mail app prompt.

This problem is common and effect all applicaitions.

Is there a way to force prompts to forground or stay on the desktop
with the application that spawned them?
