Please confirm that the application having the problem is calling gssapi
from the Windows Message thread.    Doing so blocks the Windows Message
processing for the application which means that it can't respond to the
message indicating that it will give up focus to the NIM dialog. 

You can open a bug report for this if you wish.  Asanka and I already
have a patch if the problem application is in fact violating the Windows
guidelines by calling a function that can block from the Windows Message
thread.
