If you have started downloading an update, and your downloading progress
window gets hidden behind any other window, then when the app is ready
to install and relaunch, the "Ready to install" alert does not appear
over other windows in the app.

This is confusing. I see that this is not a modal dialog, but it acts
similar to one. (Though it's nice to be able to move it out of the way
behind the other windows once you have seen it, so you can relaunch
later.)

To reproduce:
* Start downloading an update.
* Bring another window to front, covering up your downloading window.
* For even more fun, bring another application up.

Later, when the update is downloaded, click the program's icon in the
dock (if it wasn't active).

I would expect the Ready to Install window to be front and center.

Instead, it is hidden behind other window(s).

Can this window be forcibly brought to front when it's ready?
