This is a known problem with the default configuration of the X server
on the Mac. And it can easily be changed:

 defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm -bool false
 defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_click_through -bool true

This is noted prominently on the installation instructions for GIMP on
the Mac: http://www.wilber-loves-apple.org/pages/install-leopard/
