Hello,
The about:config change works at least for Flash player. If you use Ubuntu/Firefox you can make the fix global by putting in /etc/firefox/syspref.js the following:
// prevent flash player windows from overlapping other tabs
pref("plugins.force.wmode", "opaque");
Now I don't know the difference between "opaque" or "transparent" and I haven't spent much today to find it out (first google hits didn't help).
What I did notice is that this fix doesn't prevent adobe acrobat reader from still having a similar behaviour but I can live without it as it's a horrible browser plugin and there are open source alternatives as long as you don't need pdf forms in the browser.

Interesting. I tried Chrome and have been seeing other issues (X-Server
crashing) when using the Windows X2Go Client, so that didn't seem like a
solution to me.
Are you using the Windows Client?

With the link you provided, I found
http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view.php?id=TR04J02675 - that page doesn't
seem to offer a workaround, but links to the page you mentioned.
What's confusing me here is that that page says "two *more*
workarounds", which means there should be three.
Any idea what number three might be?
Anyways, thanks for the hint, I'll try the about:config change.
Sounds like something that might even be added into
/etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js so it (positively) affects all users
without having to mess with their individual configuration files.
