In my opinion, this is a UI bug in your app (not a Rev or Win7 issue). Win7 just brought this issue to light.

A palette window usually indicates an optional window that can be open or closed. For example, the tools or inspector palette in the Rev IDE. You can close them, but can always get them back easily.

Of course, the above assumes you aren't using a palette window for something else, like a download progress window that is meant to prevent the user from doing anything while the download is in progress. If that's the case, I would use the on cloneStack handler in the palette window to perform an implicit cancel or similar operation (assuming it isn't done yet).
