Dialogs appears behind marave

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run marave
2. Open a dialog window, like open, save, text or bg color

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The dialog window appears on top, so I can change value. Instead, it appears 
behind, I have to move the main window using alt and the left mouse button.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Marave r465 on Archlinux x86_64, with PekWM as window manager.

Please provide any additional information below.
Nothing special appears in the term, except 4 times
"<module 'marave' from '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/marave/__init__.pyc'>
Cannot open file 
'/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/marave/plugins/icons/configure.svg', because: 
No such file or directory"

Yes, it happens here too running pekwm under Xephyr.

Honestly, Marave does enough weird stuff that some window managers just can't 
handle it and I'm afraid I can't do workarounds for every one of them :-(

Since it works with openbox, fluxbox, kwin, metacity and several others. Maybe 
it's a pekwm problem, I am not sure. Could you ask the pekwm devels?

From what I read of the activateWindow method's documentation (I tried to 
modify your sourcecode), it depends on the window manager. I suppose that it's 
not a bug of pekwm, but a functionnality to doesn't disturb the user when he 
executes an application in fullscreen (eg it is a good things for games). If I 
resize marave with alt and right click, the application has now a window 
decoration, and dialog windows appear now normally.
I will ask if they can implement something ;)

PS: thanks for Xephyr, it seems to be usefull for testing wm.
