VST Effects GUI Windows Stay On Top In A Strange Way
Best way to test this is to load up an empty fresh LMMS instance.
Then immediately open up a VST Effect
Then load up any LMMS or LADSPA effect.
With the VST Effect GUI Window open,
Drag the LMMS/LADSPA effect window across the VST Effect GUI Window as if you were trying to put its window on top of the VST Effect window.
You will notice that the VST Effect GUI will stay on top and that the LMMS/LADPSA window will actually show up under the VST Effect GUI yet on top of the VST Effect Window edge, like a slice of LADSPA cheese in between two slices of VST Effect bread.
Odd thing is, is that if you load a VST Instrument (VeSTige) before or after this process, it actually fixes the glitch.
So it appears as if the VST Instrument is providing LMMS with something that is missing from VST Effect.
Hope this helps, any questions let me know.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 7 with LMMS 1.3.0 Alpha by opening a VST Effect, loading an LMMS or LADSPA effect, and dragging its window across the VST GUI. Compare the window handling with VeSTige loaded before or after the sequence. Done means the effect windows stack normally without requiring a VST Instrument.
