yeah, you are right. I write it quickly, it is sort of democode to clear
the idea, and to start (imho) good discusion on it.

hm, with XRestackWindows we will get bunch of problems and it will bloat
code as there must be then malloc-ed memory and then filled with
windows from snext linked list in right order.

All we need is some form of "layers" on for raising up floating windows
while second for raising up !floating windows. Is there something like
this in Xlib?
