Summary: Can not access "Add bookmark" dialog → modal dialog cannot be focus by keyboard again once switched focus to another application
gtk application also have the same behavior.
It's a bug of metacity.
Alt-tabbing to an app with a modal dialog open doesn't move it up in the alt-tab order.
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338660

A workaround is to use Alt+Tab and Alt+F6.
