I think you mean the PolicyKit dialog, which says things like
"Privileges are required to get devices." and "An application is
attempting to perform an action that requires privileges."

In that case, do you mean that the window is not brought to the front,
and instead is hidden behind other windows?  I believe this is a
PolicyKit problem: there is no way for the client (system-config-printer
in this case) to indicate to the dialog which window has "caused" the
authentication dialog, and I think causes the window manager to prevent
it from "focus stealing".

Or did you mean some other dialog, or some other problem?
