[Solved] Program's windows opens in background.

Hi I have weird problem with my arch. When I run firefox, or opera or chrome or whatever, and I want to open another program (like gnome-terminal, avidemux, xmms, smplayer..or whatever) the window of this program opens in background. I have to click the bottom panel to switch to this program. WTF is going on ? The option "always show on top" is not selected.

No specifics on what you're running, I'd guess Gnome? I have had this in metacity before, but that was in a VM and I didn't bother much about it.
