im-chooser just uses libgnomeui's feature. unable to display GTK_WINDOW_POPUP dialog is a bug in compiz/beryl.

Mmm, it seems like the dialog is derived by gnome_client_request_save(). Shall we deem this bug is from either libgnomeui or compiz?

Kristian? Assigning to you and please feel free to reassign if you want to blame some other component.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".

I'm slightly guessing at what was being reported here. But with RHEL 6 Compiz I can reproduce a similar problem. With desktop-effects enabled:

 - Run 'gnome-session-save --logout-dialog'
 - Cancel dialog
 - Run 'gnome-session-save --logout-dialog' again

Dialog appears underneath all other windows. It has the "always on top" flag set (as you can see by looking in the window menu), but the flag was not properly honored when remapping an existing window from the withdrawn state. After moving other open windows out of the way, if you raise the window by clicking on the titlebar, you won't be able to lower it again.

Actually, it's weirder than it getting the stacking order wrong in X terms - if you click where the window should appear you can click on the buttons, so the stacking order is right in X terms, but Compiz thinks its something different.

I've put a patch and full explanation at:

 http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1304

It should be a very safe fix. Priority is in my opinion moderate:

 - It's a fairly confusing bug. 

   (In some circumstances you try to log out and nothing happens; this is 
   triggered by our input switching tool in an obvious way.)

 - It can't be that important if it hasn't been fixed upstream in ~5 years?

Not going to fix for RHEL 5, moving to RHEL 6
