I get the same behaviour in GTK 2.24.0 :-(

One workaround is setting all dialogs to be transient, i.e. always in 
front of the main window (and frankly every other radiant window) - 
though I can't figure out how to do it for the Surface Inspector (or any 
other plugin windows). Meh.

A different workaround would be making the floating windows 
non-transient (there's already a commented-out if clause for that in 
create_floating()), I think personally I'll use that as a workaround, 
though the main window mustn't be fullscreen then. I'll go for that though.
