Forgive me if what I am about to suggest implies that you are some kind of 
imbecile, that is not my intention..

I have seen this problem occur when a user double clicks an icon in a window 
(such as a file in a nautilus file browser) and doesn't wait for the resulting 
program to finish loading, but instead 
clicks again somewhere in that same window. This could be clicking a third time 
on the icon in question, or maybe clicking somewhere else. This causes the 
desktop "focus" to be trained on that window 
and not the new one appearing, so the new one appears "behind" the current one.

Could that be it or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Cheers,
Al.
