Ah I see you've provided the info here. Obviously these versions are 
some years old, but we can still try and help you find a work around.

I just tested the latest version, and it works as expected, the password 
prompt stays on top. The exception seems to be a full screen video.

Are you using a specific window manager, or the default? Any ideas why 
"Always on top" would not be respected by your desktop?

Cheers,
