Due Bills & Since Last Run Windows hide behind main window

[Adrien Monteleone]

I figured it was a Gtk on Mac thing since it works just fine in Ubuntu.

I’ll pop into gnucash-devel soon. Thanks!

It works out OK most of the time, but at startup when the dialogs get fired before the main window is realized the main window can get drawn on top of the dialogs.
