It would be nice to be able to modify the window stacking order. Currently
the core forces floating windows on top of the liled ones.
I attach a patch that makes the stacking order configurable through layouts.
The patch also contains a layout modifier that restacks windows in fifo order -
regardless of whether floating or not. For example, if window A is focused and
I now focus window B, then B moves on top of A in the stacking order and the
rest remain unchanged.
This behavior is the one I like. It is natural for someone who works
a lot with floating windows. However, I found no way to get such behavior
without modifying the core.
Note that my patch cooperates well with the UpdatePointer action. In my config
file I also disabled focusFollowsMouse, but this is optional.
Hope this can be useful.
Thanks
