Yes, unfortunately broken for a long time.
There is no enough info in your questions, but I may try to guess.

Maybe because it uses GNOME hints to change its layer? Try:
Style *galeon* GNOMEIgnoreHints

Mozilla like Netscape asks to remove "maximize" and "minimize" buttons
for some transient windows.
You probably have Iconify button number 6 and Maximize button number 4
while by default they are 4 and 2 respectivelly? Try:
ButtonStyle 2 - Clear
ButtonStyle 4 - Clear MWMDecorMax
ButtonStyle 6 - Clear MWMDecorMin
# or if you want to disable any remove-button hints use this line
Style mozilla-bin NoDecorHint, NoFuncHint

They are without a title because they are transient. Try:
Style * DecorateTransient

You may blame xmms developers that decided to force these windows without
normal window manager decorations. They implemented their own move, raise
and even snap attraction. :)
But all window operations work, like Raise from a root window or, say,
RaiseLower bound to Alt + the middle mouse button click inside a window.
