I'm not entirely sure why this is happening (I'm not explicitly
asking for save_unders in my dialogs) but whatever OW2.0 does,
it screws up the display.  I often see the following:

Dialog 1 is mapped on top of a cmdtool.
Dialog 2 is mapped on top of Dialog 1.
Dialog 1 is unmapped.
Dialog 2 is unmapped.
The underlying window now is "restored" to have an image of
Dialog 1 on it (clipped to where Dialog 2 was of course).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
