you can configure your window manager on linux to make the popup appear on top of old windows (or not!) you cannot configure your window manager on windows.
really? wonderful, how do i do this?
depends on your window manager :-) (indeed one of the big drawbacks in the linux world; while OSX and w32 basically offer you a single, unconfigurable window manager, on linux you get loads of different window managers all configureable in _different_ ways!)
anyhow, assuming you are using kde, try playing around with kcontrol (Desktop->Window Behaviour). i keep forgetting the exact required settings though (i don't change the behaviour that often)
