Are you running with xmms set to be always on top? (Right-click ->
Options -> Always On Top)
I've noticed that if I do that, I get the exact same behavior you're
describing. If I turn that off, the preferences dialog works properly.
I've been meaning to file a bug about it for a while, but in the
meantime, if you're seeing the same problem, that hopefully is a
work-around.
