New issue 594 by ***@gmail.com: modal window management with virtual
box (1)
https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=594

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch virtualbox after an update in the VB tools,
2.accept upgrading tools


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
a gksudo root prompt modal window pops up and should stay on the front
until password has been typed.
Instead, virtualbox progress window goes to front and gksudo root prompt
modal window goes to background thus preventing the root password to be
entered and upgrading process to follow.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
VirtualBox 4.3.24 Linuxmint 17.1

Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".
no output at xmonad
--recompile

Please provide any additional information below.

I don't know if this comment can be of any help, but if it was possible
to cycle accross the modal with alt-tab, this problem wouldn't be anymore.
