"Ghost" Windows that do nothing appear in Exposé

Hello. I have noticed that small windows, usually completely white or black, appear while using Steam. They do nothing, and I cannot close them or do anything but select them. I can switch to them using Exposé. I don't know why they appear, but they're a visual nuisance and clutter up my screen. At the moment there are at least 4 or 5 of them lingering! I have a picture of it that I took, if that is necessary. How can I make this stop?

Speaking of which, will we ever be able to switch to Steam windows using Exposé? As it stands now, the normal Steam windows simply vanish when I use Exposé.

I am using Crossover Games 7.0.0 in OS X 10.4.11. By the way, great work - aside from these ghost windows, Steam is running really nicely now!

I have the same issue and I can confirm that it happens in both macbook (10.4.11) and macbook pro (10.5.2).

just restart Steam (not while playing because these windows are in the background so they dont really bother me)

Yes, I have noticed the same bug appearing at times, on Leopard MacBook Pro.
