In fact I avoid using it as much as possible. Consider a situation where a user has multiple monitors. Claiming the central or startup monitor as "MINE" could be considered rude at least ....

And as a perfect example, we work in a situation where there is a W*ND*Ws  POS touchscreen system alongside our linux based screens. When their POS collapses the error popup falls behind the screen-grabbing POS application, which then appears totally locked.  On the other hand, if something terrible happens to our screen app then Alt-Tab and Alt+mousemove lets us find the error popup.

I wish I had a $ for each time the user has watched me drag the main window aside, get the error and click the "FixThis" button ... and then said "Well why cant you do that here too????" ....

best wishes, I suppose you have reasons.
