what i meant to say here is when i take the popup hint off, i can edit 
the entries as normal, but the gnome-panel jumps in front of the 
fullscreen window (both of these behaviors are without setting transiency)

Actually, an even stranger behavior is occuring if i make it transient 
for the fullscreen window and take off the popup type hint...the window 
is getting initialized (aka i can see it when i do an alt+tab browsing) 
but i can't actually view it!? I'm really confused now...
