Hi Takuma, thanks for your responses!

This is in answer to your two earlier messages...

Yes, this does not require the flag.  Basically, any overridden window
is now moved to the absolute top of the Z order, not just the top
of the regular stack.  It's a 1 line change in winmultiwindowwndproc.c.

I'll have to read the archives some more to understand what
you mean by the restacking bug, but FWIW there's a new
function called PreserveWin32Stack in winmultiwindowwm.c which
just walks the Win32 window stack after a map or a raise and
forces the X stack to be in the same order.  It's implemented now
just as a series of XRaiseWindows (it may be possible to use the
X combined restacking function)...
