well
while re-producing the bug

It might be that it is "only" the help-task, which is preventing the
browser-windows from coming up.
But this in any case ( help-window big or minimized) when the help-task is running

pls recheck

-> XP Apps and confirming on win2k with a 12h old cvs trunk
no dataloss or crash -> not critical
only with the help window -> trivial

Hey Matti

I suppose you did not got the point
- is it a problem of wrong task-handling
- or does it come from the mal-invented always-on-top-feature
in no way trivial

however - it is a (multiple)-duplicate
so leave it this way
