Quick workaround: click on the currently focused window -- it will make the applet window correctly resurface above the focused window.

Answer to the comment:
"Quick workaround: click on the currently focused window -- it will make the applet window correctly resurface above the focused window."

Not so correctly. I'm attaching a screenshot. This can be another bug, but if it is, is related to this bug.
Steps to reproduce this:
1- Put another bar under that bar where calendar is in;
2- Open a window;
3- Maximize it;
4- Be sure this window take the focus;
5- Click on the calendar (it will open under the window);
6- Click on the focused window.

The result appears like the screenshot.

I can confirm this bug, except that the workaround works for me, unlike for Jeronimo. When I click on the focused window, my calendar appears fully (ie the focused window's title bar doesn't obscure it).

But the calendar *doesn't* get the focus when I click on the top window, even though the calendar is re-drawn over the top window. If I then click on the calendar its appearance changes slightly as compiz gives it focus.

The workaround works some of the time for me, sometimes not.
