Comment (by dbevans):

 Testing update:

 After spending some time comparing the behavior of 0.92.3 and 0.92.4
 releases, I was able to get a bit more specific about the symptoms of this
 problem.

 The problem can be demonstrated as follows:

 * open a sample document ( I use the animated clock example distributed
 with inkscape)
 * select an extension to apply (Extension->Color->Black_and_White)
 * at his point, an extension dialog will appear on top of document window
 * the dialog appears in the upper left of document window (should be
 centered on the document)
 * either selecting the document window or applying the extension will
 bring the document window to the foreground with the dialog behind it
 * correct behavior is for the dialog window to stay on top of the document
 window even though the focus has shifted to the document.
 * this assumes that the Windows preference "Dialog on top" (see above)
 has been set to either Normal (default) or Agressive. Inkscape must be
 restarted to make a setting change to be effective.
 * only dialog windows from Extensions or Filters are effected.  For
 instance, the Preferences dialog works as expected in all cases.

 Inkscape 0.92.3 distribution works correctly, Inkscape 0.92.4 does not,
 nor does Inkscape built from the latest 0.92.x maintenance branch
 (inkscape-devel).  inkscape-gtk3-devel built from git master appears to
 work correctly.

 Using git bisect, I was able to track down the offending commit on the
 0.92.x maintenance branch:

 which certainly has a suspicious sounding name!!  I'm looking now to see
 what exactly in this commit might be causing the problem and why it works
 on master (possibly a fix not back-ported to maintenance, gtk2/3
 differences?).

 Will report after I zero in a bit further.
