Bug #35876 is already filed against metacity, GNOME's window manager.

But it would seem the problem is two-fold: something in the window manager
(that bug) but also the fact that applications need to tell metacity how to
handle them. If the latter is done incorrectly, there's not much metacity
can do, and it would be a bug against that application. (I'm talking a bit
over my head here, so take that for what it's worth.)
