Its not 100% reproducible, it happens from time to time. Anyway, heres
the xprop output in withdrawn state:

I'm not sure, but it looks like it happens everytime, the window
manager does not find a "free space" to place the window, that the
window has to be placed above another window instead of being placed
"on the desktop".
