I've actually seen this once before on X11. I thought that I had it fixed. Apparently not. Its got to do with the fact that I have a grab on the options dialog, and then I set another one on the font dialog. Switching focus into the options dialog causes all window to no longer go to the font dialog, but the option dialog is the one with the focus.

I'll try to poke at it more and see if I can figure it out. But I already thought I had. :-\

Thanks for the bug report.
