Password box opens in a different window

[John Talbut <john@dpets.demon.co.uk>]

Recently, when I try to open a password protected document the focus goes to one 
window, a blank openoffice screen, and the box requesting the password opens in 
a different one or on the desktop.  I use Gnome with Debian testing.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why this has started to happen?  Should I 
report this as a bug?
